• .NET Development Want to do a simple thing

  Using VS 2005 Beta 2.  Win XP SP2. Have developed a website containing many pages.

When the grid is setup to use tooltips and the first one is activated the underlying ToolTip coomponent is created and part of that initialisation is to figure out what ...Show All

I cannot find any way to move the project, and rebinding it in Visual Studio does not let me add it to another location in the source control tree. I really would like to move the project down one level (ie: from $/MyProject/ to $MyProject/Library1/) so that I can organize other class libraries under the existing project. I have also tried the "tf delet ...Show All
