Visual Studio 2008 - Moving solution files (sln, suo)


If a VS2008 project is created initially with a web app project, and class projects are added, and the structure is like this:

Parent Folder
    Web App Project Folder - (solution Files in this folder)
    Class Project 1
    Class Project 2
    ...

do you see any problems with moving the .sln and .suo files to the parent directory?

Parent Folder - (solution Files in this folder)
    Web App Project Folder 
    Class Project 1
    Class Project 2
    ...

I adjusted the .sln project directories and the solution seems to be working fine, but I'm wondering if this action will break something I didn't anticipate.


Solution

  • Only the project files determine their build outputs - solutions only link projects together into a logical entity, so that they can be loaded at the same time in a Visual Studio instance. If the projects are still the same, nothing's broken.
