creating solutions whereever you want...

[Bob]

Hi,

So if I want to create a VS solution in the directory

c:\MyCompany

and name the solution "MySolution", there is no way to do
it! VS studio will always stick "MySolution" in a
subdirectory called "MySolution" the "MyCompany"
directory. Is there any way to put "MySolution" in
the "MyCompany" directory other than copying the solution
file to "MyCompany"?

Thanks!
Bob

In the dialog box that you use to create the project, uncheck the "Create
directory for Solution" checkbox. The project will then be created in the
same directory as the solution, instead of a directory under the solution.

I am confused. I said I wanted to create a new solution,
not a new project. Yes there is a checkbox but I cannot
unclick because it is checked and disabled. Only way I
have found to put solution whereever I want is first
create it where VS .NET wants it, then cut and paste it
somewhere else...
