Visual C# source files in subdirectory

Question

How do you get Visual C# 2010 to go along with the idea of putting source files in a subdirectory, that is, *.cs moves to src\*.cs while leaving everything else where it is? It's probably something very simple, I just tried creating a test class as src\myclass.cs instead of plain myclass.cs and Visual C# would have none of it.

Answer 1

Right-click the project add new folder, right-click the folder add new item.

Answer 2

Or you can just create the class as usual and in the ProjectExplorer in VS you can move the class into a folder like in the normal explorer.

Answer 3

What you have to remember is that the directories are only for the developers purposes, once you hit compile that does not matter because all files get put into 1 root compilation.

But as both František Žiačik and rwallace said, by going to your Project Manage area to the right of your VS you will see a set of files and folders, just right click the top one to expand the right click menu and you should see Add Item just go in there and click folder.
