Re: Visual Studio 2008 Project Management

Is there any simple and reasonable way of having proper directory management inside a project in Visual Studio 2008 for a C++ project?

hmmm, NO.

Well, Visual studio apparently doesn't seem to agree with me on this philosophy. When I go to create a subdirectory in the project tree, all I can create is a "Filter" which isn't an actual directory.

filters are a stupid response for a long time & still missing feature.
previous studio env. also lets you create these no-sense-aliases but
each name can be used only once, after 10 years (95-05) you can use
the same name more than once, drag & drop of files or folders from
the explorer is also supported (thanks to 10 years of hard works)
but of course all dragged files are all inserted in the filter-drop
target without any respect of the source tree, any w/o creating the
necessary new filters ... so point 1.

And when I go to create a class, it wants to put them all into the
root directory. I have to manually override the location by typing
it in for BOTH the header and cpp file.

this wizard was fully redesigned to be as stupid as the older.
you can indeed type-in the full path twice or browse it twice,
you can also type-in a inexistent path and of course get an
insult-alert (not have the path built for you) ... so point 1.

This is utterly ridiculous. How does Microsoft expect someone to use
their tools when I can't even easily properly structure my project?

they simply say: it's the way you MUST work, and apparently they
success; I never figure out if they are that convincing or if most
of developers are that ... not imaginative (I can't say stupid).
for 10 years I'm screaming in my side ... and loop to point 1.

Please someone tell me there is something I'm just simply missing
and not seeing...

don't miss to forward, in case.

Sylvain.
