Using Solution Folders

| Sunday, March 28, 2010

Did you know there are special folders to help you organize large solutions?  There is!  They are called, appropriately enough, Solution Folders.  To create one just Right-Click on your solution (or go to Project -> Add New Solution Folder) and you will see this in Solution Explorer:

Simply give the folder a name and you are good to go.  But so what?  I mean, what can you actually DO with these things?  Here is a list of stuff you can do:

   *      Move or add projects to them. Solution Folders can be nested to create greater organizational structure.
   *      Add, delete, or rename Solution Folders at any time, if the organizational requirements of the solution change.
   *      Unload all projects in a Solution Folder to make them temporarily unavailable for building.
   *      Collapse or hide entire Solution Folders so that you can work more easily in Solution Explorer. Hidden projects are built when you build the solution.
   *      Apply the same policy to all the projects by setting the Policy File property for the Solution Folder.
   *      Build or rebuild all the projects. The projects are built in the order specified by the project dependencies.
