How to set a password to my project not to the setup ?
Password protect the solution (source code)?
What do you mean by "password to my project"? Do you want it to ask for a password when you open it in Visual Studio or do you want the application you're developing to ask for a password?
As far as I know you can't set a password for your Visual Studio project.
If you want to add a password to your application... then go ahead?
What's the question / problem?
Put what you want to protect in a password protected zip file.
...and then run it through PGP or something since ZIP files are WAY too easy to break. :DQuote:

Then it would have to re-package all of the data and remove the temporary files when Visual Studio exists. I'm not sure that that's possible.
Why do you want to do this? There may be a better solution.
There's probably some source-code management plugins like the old SourceSafe system from VB6 Pro that'll let you do it, but I doubt any solution out there will be free.
Thank you for all your effort!
