Creating a new Visual Studio project

Introduction

Since version 2.1.xx of Objecteering C# Developer, it has been possible to model your Visual Studio projects. This new modeling element enables you to keep a link with the Visual Studio project file (.csproj) versions 2003, 2005 and 2008.

Creating a new project

To create a new project, simply select the package that will represent the root of your project (1) in the explorer and then click on the icon in the auxiliary window (2).

Creating a new Visual Studio project

A new model element represented by the icon ("Console Application" by default) is created (3) and linked to the previously selected package. The name of this project element is by default the name of the root package (suffixed by a number if this name is already present in the explorer).

The creation of a project model element can lead to the automatic generation of an empty project file (.csproj) of the same name. This associated file situated in the project root package's generation directory corresponds to the version of your Visual Studio IDE.

Note : This new project model element can subsequently be moved as you wish, without affecting its associated features and data.

Visualizing information on your Visual Studio project

When you select the project element in the explorer (1), the auxiliary displays the essential information (2) relative to your Visual Studio project (Application Properties).
