Is there a setting in Visual Studio 2008 that allows me to decide which folder gets treated like the bin/debug folder where the exe is compiled?
The reason I ask is my school project is asking me to open several exe files from other projects and I want to be able be able to have all the exe files in one easy to access folder such as the main driver program's debug folder.
So do I have to manually copy the exe files over? Or can I have it build directly to the folder I want?
In the Project menu at the top of VS, select the Properties option at the bottom. Click the Build tab, look at the bottom of the options for Output path.
However if you know the path to these other exe files then what is stopping you from adding the path to your file operations?
Nothing is wrong with doing it that way. Just my personal preference. Thanks for the solution though.
If the projects are all part of the same solution the exe files should all end up in <solution dir>\debug (or release) automatically
