Title Body

I'm currently in the process of stripping down, refactoring and cleaning up a medium sized (15 ish projects) Visual Studio solution. The solution contains projects in both C++ and C#. I'm keen to keep things as neat as possible in terms of output - seperating anything compiler created from source code, as it helps subversion (okay, I can tell it to ignore files, but I still feel it's messy) from freaking out. The output I would like to achieve is as follows: SolutionDir/ SolutionDir/src/project1/{ Code here } SolutionDir/int/project1/configuration/{.obj files and other misc compiler junk here} SolutionDir/bin/project1/configuration/{The fun stuff goes here} This seems trivial with C++ projects as you can specify both the output and the intermediates directory. However with C#, at least through the Visual Studio 2008 User Interface it seems impossible to move the obj directory? After doing some digging, I added <IntermediateOutputPath>..\..\int\ProjectName\Debug\</IntermediateOutputPath> to the C# .csproj This appears to work, sort of. It's true the intermediates appear to end up there, but a directory 'obj' and under it a configuration directory (e.g. 'debug') and then a 'TempPE' directory are created in the old location - all of which are empty. This isn't really a big deal, but it would be nice to know the cause of this behavior and if possible a way to fix it. Thanks in advance!
