Creating a project group

 

Create project groups to handle related projects at once. For example, you can create a project group that contains multiple executable files such as a .DLL and an .EXE. By organizing them into a group, you can compile them at the same time.

To create a project group:

1.        Choose View|Project Manager to display the Project Manager, if necessary.

If no project is currently loaded, the Project Manager lists <No Project Group>.

If a project is currently loaded, the Project Manager lists <ProjectGroup1>.

2.         Select the project group, right-click, and choose either:

Add New Project to open the New Items dialog box to add a new project.

Add Existing Project to add an existing project to this project group.

3.         When you have completed adding projects, select ProjectGroup1, right-click, and choose Save to rename the project group to a meaningful name.

To manage a project group:

Select the project group, right-click, and a context menu appears.

Whenever you open a project that is not currently part of a project group, the product displays the project as ProjectGroup1. You may choose to save the Project Group, thereby creating a project group for this project. However, it is not necessary.
