Hi
Can I exclude file or folder from a project as it used to be in VS.NET
2003?
I have existing project and its structure was organized that class and
NUnit projects are inside of the web project folder. I tried to convert it
to VS.NET 2005 but I see all this folders in the web project structure.
Thank you,
Shimon.

Right-click, "Exclude From Project".

I don't have it for web projects. I did find in class project. Is it
something wrong with my system?

Are you sure it IS included in the project? There is a difference between
being able to see a file, and its being included in the project.

Kevin, have you actually DONE a web project in Visual Studio 2005?

Apparently not, the web projects in Visual Studio 2005 are file based, there
is no project file to record what is in the project and what is not. In
other project types, this information is held in the project file.

There are special folders to hold the code files (and the names of these
folders are fixed), and these are compiled and the source not distributed if
you precompile your web, but any other folders are considered content. Any
folders created under these special folders are treated the same way, and the
code files can be organized this way. NUnit files should probably be held in
these folders, or better still the business rules should be implemented in a
separate class library project, and referenced. I have not been able to get
any NUnit ASP projects to work with VS 2005, but these should definitely be
in the code directory.

So there is no other solution but to reorganize the file structure?

Or reorganize your projects. If possible, move any business classes a
separate class library project. Here you can include the NUNit tests and you
just reference the assembly from your web project. If the code has to stay
with the web project (UI code being tested with NUNit ASP), then you will
need to organize it into the appropriate folders.

If you are using NUNit ASP successfully with Visual Studio 2005, please let
me know what changes you had to make if any.

I do have Class Library in one project and tests in another. Just when I
originally organized folders I put them in the folder where my web project
was. It wasn't a problem for VS 2003 sine the folder was excluded from web
solution and wasn't even visible ( unless you want to see it) here I found
that you can't make it 'invisible'. I am not sure if it is compiled in the
main web assembly.
Should I just leave everything or move the folders with Class library and
test projects?

Thank you again,
Shimon

Oh, you should move them.

Hi John,

You got me there. I have done quite a few projects with VS.Net 2005, but
never an ASP.Net web app. So, I did some research. There are no IDE commands
for excluding a file from a project for sure. I expect there will be at some
point. It may be possible to edit the .sln file to exclude a file from
deployment. I couldn't find a comprehensive reference about the .sln file,
though.
