Naming convention for Visual Studio solutions and projects

Question

We were thinking about organizing our BIG project this way:

\\trunk
  [CompanyName]
    [Product1]
        [Project1]
          CompanyName.Product1.Project1.csproj
          


        

Answer 1

Looks good to me.

It's a point to note that by default, the default namespace in a Visual Studio project is just the project name. Surely that indicates that naming your projects like your namespaces is "the Visual Studio Way".

Solutions are most naturally named after the product/project. Like you indicate.
