VS2005 Solution Explorer - Organisation

Hi guys,

I'm just wondering why my Solution Explorer is not organized unlike VB6. I mean, all files are displayed without folders. In VB6 all Forms are located in Forms folder, the same thing with Classes and Modules.

How will I configure this in VS2005 ?

Thank you.

Maybe it's because it's not VB6. What a crazy idea.

How do you do anything in the Solution Explorer? You right-click the appropriate node and then select the appropriate option from the menu. If you want to add a folder to your project you would:

You can also click the "Show All " button so you can see more. Perhaps that view might be more recognizable coming from VB 6.

I should also add that putting all forms in one folder, all classes in another and all modules in another may not be the best way to organise a project. You might want to organise your project by the functional component the items relate to. Because VS doesn't impose any organisational structure on you you are free to use whatever you want. You can create your own folders and put whatever you want in each. If you want a folder for forms then you can create a folder for forms. If you don't want one then you don't have to have one.
