Chapter 6. Solutions, Projects, and Items
Other than the simplest, such as Hello World, most applications require more than one source file. This raises a number of questions, such as how the files will be named, where they will be located, and whether they can be reused. Within Visual Studio 2008, the concept of a solution, containing a series of projects, made up of a series of items, is used to enable developers to track, manage, and work with their source files. The IDE has a number of built-in features meant to simplify this process, while still enabling developers to get the most out of their applications. This chapter examines the structure of solutions and projects, looking at available project types and how they can be configured.
