Question

I have a Solution that contain 3 projects.
1 Windows application and 2 class library.

Folder structure tree on my disc is as following:
\projects\CurrentProject\test\
\projects\CurrentProject\build\

The solution files are located under:
/projects/CurrentProject/

All 3 projects are located at \projects\CurrentProject\test\

I need all the build outputs of all projects (1.exe and 2 dlls) to be under \projects\CurrentProject\build\ …
So on each project, i go to “project properties”, select on both debug/release the output path to be: “….\build”, but still after doing so, i have files on /obj of the class library projects.

Why is this ?

Thanks

To move your obj folder elsewhere your can customize your build configuration using the BaseIntermediateOutputPath property in the project file (the .csproj file).

To do it:

1. Open the .csproj file in a text editor (the .csproj file is an XML file)
2. Edit the value of the element BaseIntermediateOutputPath or add it in the desired PropertyGroup. (The line to modify or to add looks like <BaseIntermediateOutputPath>..\build\obj</BaseIntermediateOutputPath>)
3. Save the file
4. Reopen your project in Visual Studio.
