I usually format my project directory like J-P Boodhoo. a main dir containing solution file, then a lib folder for all third-party lib, a src dir, a tools lib for third-party that wont be deployed…. For more info look here

I set in my project the reference path for all the needed folder, but if a developper checkout the trunk, he have to set all the reference path. Is there a way to simplify this ?

And am I using Visual Studio 2008.

Thank you.

  1. I’m not sure which Visual Studio language you use, but if it’s C++, then then file paths are stored in the .vcproj project file which should also be under version control. (NOTE: the .sln solution file does NOT store path settings) If you are careful to use relative, rather than absolute paths, it should be easily sharable among multiple developers.

    In Visual C++ 2008, project files are XML so you can edit them directly. If you want to get really fancy, you can use .vsprops property sheets for additional control.
