[IDE question] Aaargggh..I just want to see the path of the file!!

Visual Studio 2003/5 question...

I'm in the solution explorer, looking at a file. I want to find it's path.
The only way i know of doing this is to open it (with a double-click), then
mouse over the tab title.

This is should be really basic, but I don't know of any other way (simple or
complicated) of finding the path to a file.

And as for the solution file (.sln), I don't know of *any* way of finding
the path to it, after I've opened it in VS. This can be really annoying when
I'm trying to run two versions of my program side by side, and there's no
easy way to tell which is which.

Am I missing something?

TIA,

Javaman

Right click the file, click on Properties. You'll see the path there in "Full Path".

Thanks, but I've looked, and looked, and looked, in Properties, and I can't
see "Full Path" there.

Looking again... ahah! I've found it...

It's in a different Properties dialog which appears when I press F4. That's
the way it is on my machine, anyway.. One set of properties in
Right-Click->Properties, and the file properties on F4.

Hmm. I have seen that in another post you write that you cannot see it by
right-clicking and choosing "properties ". That is odd, because it works that
way on my system. The last property (under the title "Misc") is "Full path".
(It is greyed-out though...whatev er that means).

As far as I know, when you create the solution you are asked where it should
be placed - that's where the .sln file will be found. At least that's how it
appears to be on my system.

How can I Programmatically access maximum path, file, and sum of both lengths? I am using VB.NET 2003. The PathTooLongException indicates that a path < 248 characters, filename < 260 characters, but not clear what the length of a path and filename should be. I would like to check the system-defined lengths programatically. At least does anyone know what the maximum length of a complete file path

If you can't seem to eliminate throwing this exception, then the answer is to look for a different file opened previously with an invalid or missing filename. For example, assume the following code: Dim FileName15, FileName16 As String Filename15 = "mytextfile.txt" Fileopen(15, FileName15, Mode.Output) Fileopen(16, FileName16, Mode.Output)

The best thing I've found until now is XRCed. It has it's quirks and pitfalls, but it fits the bill. Personally I prefer the previous version (the one that comes with wxPython 2.8.6) and don't really like what's been done with it lately, but that's a matter of taste really. It seems like a really weird thing at first, completely unlike anything in the VB or .NET arena, but after a bit of getting used to it, it becomes quite productive. ...
