在Visual Studio中将解决方案.sln文件存储在哪里？

Question

I read few things regarding this issue but I'm still a bit confused so I will try to present my scenario and questions.

First of all I read that you shouldn't store your .sln file in the same folder as .csproj. The reason for this is that when you will try to add a new project it will be added above the directory with .sln file.

This is from Visual studio 2010 best practices: [Link]

Now I'm using VS 2013 so is this any different ? Because when I create a new project its root folder is placed exactly where the .sln file is.This is for all the projects created using New project... in Visual studio and later using Add new project.. clicking on solution in Visual Studio.

The reason I ask this is because I copied a project using this step by step [Link]

and everything is working great except the part with the .sln placing. To copy the project I delete the .sln of the first project and let visual studio create a new one. By default Visual studio tries to do that in the same directory as .csproj. So I go one directory above and place the .sln there. The problem is with adding a new project. It actually starts to behave as in the example from Visual Studio best practices book (creates new project one directory above).

I hope all of this is not too confusing. If so I can elaborate.

This is a very important topic since I will be doing this fairly often(copying projects) and I need this to work exactly as it should.

Cheers!

Answer 1

If you create a new project from scratch, you'll see how Visual Studio creates a project / solution by default:

• Solution Folder
  • Solution.sln
  • Project1 Folder
    • Project1.csproj
  • Project2 Folder
    • Project2.csproj
  • etc

Answer 2

When you create a new project (File-->New-->Project) there is a check box Create directory for solution . Ensure that is checked to create a folder for your solution and a sub-folder for your project.
