Usually in previous versions we can find the solution files of a website project in the same folder that we specify(creation time).

But in visual studio, it seems like the solution file stores in different path like as follows

C:\Documents and Settings\nishithrajn\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\WebSite2

And the rest of the files stores in the path that we specify. So, it is very difficutl to copy from one system to another.

Why it's behaving like this? Any way is there to resolve this issue?

Mark this as answer, if it is.....

With regards

0	When you create a new Project in VS , it create a new Folder with the same name as your project in C:\Documents and Settings\vuyiswa\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\ only if you allowed it to save some files that are related to your solution. It happened to me. When you Create a Solution with Multiple Projects you must make sure it saves it into the correct Folder, be careful because the Directory that it creates in the same name as your real project name directory and this might lure you to think its the correct one. Better browse and make sure you are using the correct one. that is the way it works unfortunately Thank you for posting at Dotnetfunda [Administrator] Nishithraj, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	I always like to create Web Application projects. Websites generally keep lots of data hidden to us. The designer is stored in Windows directory inside Temporary Asp.NEt files, Solution is stored in WebSites section. etc. If you are building an ASP.NET Web Application project, everything will be stored according to your specification from the Dialog box. Also after you add any WebForm, always right click on that and Convert to Web Application. This will make your webform to generate Designer in same location.

0	Hi, Yes, There is a workaround to change this default behaviour.The reason for this default behaviour is website project does not require solution file. 1) Create a Blank Solution To create an ASP.NET Web Application, start by explicitly creating a Visual Studio Solution (.sln) file and then add your Web site and any supplementary projects you might need, such as class libraries. In the following steps, you create your solutions beneath a top level C:\DevProjects folder 2)On the File menu, point to New and then click* Project. Expand Other Project Types and select Visual Studio Solutions. Select Blank Solution. Name your solution MyWebAppSln. Set the Location to C:\DevProjects and then click OK. 2) Create New website project under this solution.
