Solution directory
-
Hi, I'm growing grey early here... I severly need HELP. When using Visual Studio 2010 (express?)... ...if you click File => "New Project", where do you specify the directory on disk? I've been creating all sorts of project in random user directories and IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY! Why can't I specify the directory where VS2010 creates the solution?!? Why can't I start a project in D:\projects? This is one of the things which drives me away from .net, even tho it's the platform of choice here...

Really? Visual Studio (all versions) behaves pretty much the same as most other Windows applications (e.g. MS Word): you can create a new something in memory, and it will ask you for a path if and when that becomes unavoidable, e.g. when telling the app to save, to close, to quit, to open up another thing that causes the current one to close first, etc. Then a dialog will pop up and you will be in charge of file locations. I tend to save early on, to get that out of the way; but there is no need to do so. :)

Using the "location" textbox.

Dunno, but you could ask your sysadmin. I can imagine how those user-specific folders are part of a regular backup-scheme. Visual Studio usually places your projects under the Documents-folder of your current user, in a subfolder with the name of the IDE, in a subfolder called "projects". ..but you should also be able to use the D:\projects location. You might even force it by moving the entire user-specific folders to the root of your D-drve, having the "My Documents" folder point there.

You could switch IDE[^] of course.

You mean you want it to go to the same place all the time and create the solution directories there? Menu: Tools|Options|Projects and Solutions|General - Projects Location In VS2010 Ultimate, anyway.
There is water at the bottom of the ocean. My Mu[sic] My Films My Windows Programs, etc.

You're not correct regarding Visual Studio 2010 Express (10.0.30319.1 RTMel). There is only a project template (installer installed only the C# template) which you can choose and the only boxes where you can type something is the solution name and the search box.

I suggest you read my reply again. I did not say it was anywhere near the new-project dialog; I said the filepath is specified when you SAVE the project, not when you CREATE the project. :)
