How do I setup an ASP.NET project *WITHOUT* using the Visual Studio GUI?

+2 A:

You will need a web.config in the root dir as well as all of your aspx files. The only other thing you really need will be a bin dir under the root to hold your assemblies.

I'm not switching IDEs just to work on some projects. I'm asking for the directory structure/important-files list.

@omouse: It is a bit silly to go an use a text editor when you could use an IDE. Your choice though.

@Rich Mono has already been developed. It's called the "kissing disease."

@BTK: Good thing you will never have to worry about getting that one!

Once Novell ship MonoDevelop for Windows, I guess it will be packaged in Mono installer too. Then you don't need to switch IDE from Emacs. You can just use MonoDevelop to create a project to start with.

I would just make a templated project from the IDE and then use that every time you make a new project.

You only really need the Bin folder and web.config as someone mentioned already.

But if you are not using a web project (compiled site) then you'll need the App_Code folder to place your code files in so the site knows what to compile at runtime.
