Moving a project to a different location

Martin

Hi!
How do I move a project (all sources) to a different location. Currently it
is located in 'My Documents', but I would like to move it to a directory on
the server.
When I try the "Save As..." option on the vbproj-file, VS2005 tells me that
it can be in the current directory only...

Tia,

Martin,

Don't try to move the project from within the IDE. Instead, use Explorer to
move the folder to the new location.

Please excuse me for jumping in here

Needing a second project similar to an existing one I've:

Used explorer to copy the project folder

Renamed the new folder and all the new files

Open VS2005 (not for the new files) and used Change in Files to change all
occurrences of the old file name to the new file name.

This appears to work.

I wonder though, if there is something (maybe a GUID) that's not the same as
if I had started a new project and cut an pasted the source code.

Is there?

Kerry is right. Remember that folder that VS made when you first created
the project ? Well, that's the folder you can copy/ move (including all
subfolders intact). Its not like ms Word or Excel - the "Save as.." does
not work for the project when you want to move it. Windows explorer ->
drag-n-move -> .

Thanks to all!
That worked perfectly.

moving .exe location causes crash?

by: Norvin Laudon | last post by:

Hi, I've developed a C# app for internal use on our LAN. I've deployed the app with a setup project. The problem is, when I make updates to the exe, I don't want to reinstall the app on everyone's computer. So I think, simple, I'll move the .exe to a network location, create a shortcut to that file on everyone's pc, and I'll only have one .exe to update.

by: David Webb | last post by:

The problem started when the Working Folder for a project was somehow set to the folder of another project. I set the correct working folder in VSS and deleted the .vbproj files that had been created in the wrong folder on the hard drive. Before I discovered these files, .NET kept trying to create a new project with _1 following the project name. Deleting those files corrected that problem. I deleted the Virtual Directory, rebooted, and...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
