I am not sure how this works. I am using Visual Studio 2008 and I created a Class Library (say the name is Test). I also selected the option to create a folder for the solution. Following is the directory structure I get:

Test
 - Test
    - bin
       - Debug
    - obj
       - Debug
    - Properties
       - AassemblyInfo.cs
    - Test.cs
    - Test.csproj
 - Test.sln
 - Test.suo

This is default and I have no problems running my code this way. My querry is I see other solutions (class libraries) created in the Subversion by others before have a different structure. The structure for that is as follows:

Test
 - .svn
 - lib
    - <<Reference 1>>
    - <<Reference 2>>
    - ....
    - <<Reference N>>
 - src
    - bin
       - Debug
    - obj
       - Debug
    - Properties
       - AassemblyInfo.cs
    - Test.cs
    - Test.csproj
 - Test.sln
 - Test.suo

My query is how to create this structure? All the references to other projects are maintained in lib folder and source code is maintained in src folder. This is not the case happening with me. When I open the solution in Visual Studio, I cannot see any such folder like lib or src. It shows the same way as mine.

Kindly help and forgive me for being so elaborative.

Thanks
