How do you set up your .NET development tree? [closed]

Answer 1

We use a structure like this:

• CompanyNameOrCoreProjectName
  • Branch
    • BranchName
      • CopyOfTrunk
  • Trunk
    • Desktop
    • ReferencedAssemblies
    • Shared
    • Solutions
    • Test
    • Webs

Then just make sure that all project/solution files only use relative paths and branching works well. Desktop/Webs are for projects of the respective types, Test is for any unit test projects, Solutions folder has a folder for each solution with only the solution file in it. ReferencedAssemblies holds all of the assemblies that we don't include in the solution (these are sometimes local projects that we just don't want to build every time we build the solution or third party assemblies like rhinomocks or log4net, etc. Shared is for any of the core libraries (data access, business logic, etc) that are used across several solutions.
