Visual Studio creating bin/ folder in wrong location.
- by Joviee
In Visual Studio 2008, I have a solution with a number of projects. Each project has the same build output path of "..\bin\Debug\" for debug, and "..\bin\Release\" for release.
So the directory structure looks like this:
solution\
bin\
project1\
project2\
project3\
This all works fine, all the assemblies go to the correct location when I build the project, etc.
Howevever, when I first open the solution in Visual Studio, an empty bin folder is created one level up from where it should.
So I am getting:
bin\
solution\
bin\
project1\
project2\
project3\
This folder is only created when I first open the solution. Never when I build.
I have looked through the .sln and every .csproj file, and I cannot work out why this folder is being created.
So, my questions are:
a) Why is this bin folder being created?
b) How do I stop Visual Studio from creating this bin folder?
