I have this structure:
Projects
|-bin
|-Project1
|-Project2
.....|-crapBin
When I build my solution from project1+2 all the built binaries goes into the bin. But additionally some binaries are also put into the crapBin folder although I have not set this path as output path of any project. Furthermore I have not defined any pre/post build events etc…
What is wrong?
Edit (Completely reworked, refined, improved answer):
With some experimentation I noticed this: When I enter the output folder as
"binFoo\Debug\"and"binFoo\Release\"respectively, I get the additional folder as well.However, when I enter them as
".\binFoo\Debug\"and".\binFoo\Release"and save the project properties then the additional folder will no longer be created in my environment. Note that as soon as you re-open the project properties the entries for the output folder no longer show the leading".\". However, from then onwards it builds into the new folder.I tested this with creating one solution and then adding two C# class library projects to that solution.
Good luck with the hunt!
