Why is .net solution file stored in c:\DocandSet~\usr1\MyDoc~\VisualStudioProjects\

[vrathaure]

hi,

my .net solution file is getting stored in C:\Documents and Settings\User1\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\Sol1.sln , whereas all my source code is being kept at wwwroot.

is it normally done like that and a mandatiry thing or solution file is some compiled file independent of the code that i can save any where i want as per my wish and will not hamper the web application functionality?

Thanks and regards

Thanks for the reply, but on another system where the same .net framework is installed, it is creating the solution file in wwwroot only and not in vstudio at user's document folder.
Why so?

Visual Studio has default locations for solution files which varies depending on the type of project you start with and the version of VS.

However, you can override these defaults within the Options of VS. Also, there is a project type called, "Blank Solution" which will create, obviously, a blank solution. Once the solution is created, if you select that solution and then do a SaveAs. You can save the solution file where you please. You can also do a SaveAs on any existing solution as well.
