What is DeployDirSuffix for?

Question

In a .csproj file, there is a DeployDirSuffix node. The default value is the project name.

What does this setting do? Upon changing it (while renaming a project) I did not notice any changes.

Answer 1

The node is only there for Smart Device projects.

It sets the directory when deploying to a device via USB (or other means). You can find this setting via project properties , Device menu, Output file folder field.
