Visual Studio 2008 annoyance

[C.]

Hi,

Whenever I build a new website in VS 2008 Pro, it will create a
duplicate folder for the .sln file. So if I create a website called
NewProject, I will get the following:

C:\Documents and Settings\...\NewProject\

C:\Documents and Settings\...\NewProject (2)\NewProject (2).sln

Is this normal? Is there any way to have everything consolidated in a
single folder? Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris!

Yes, that is a normal behaviour, because one solution can contain multiple
Projects.

If you do not want a seperate directory for the solution: Unmark "Create
directory for solution". Then you no longer get a directory for the
solution.

With kind regards,

Alternatively, just create the website project as part of the same
Solution as the first project that was created (whatever that might be).
Then the projects are all under the same Solution directory.

I make a C:\Projects. All new projects are pointed to C:\Projects, and a
new folder is made there and the solution file is created too at the
location.
