Confused about Release/Debug folders in Visual Studio 2010
asp.net-mvc, asp.net-mvc-3, deployment
Solution
Here is a good thread for what the /obj folder is for and how it's different from the /bin folder
As for why you don't have Debug/Release folders in your /bin folder:
-Under your project properties go to the Build tab
-From the Configuration on top choose Debug or Release
-For each configuration you can set the Output Path at the bottom of the window. For Debug use bin\Debug and do the same for Release.
I'm not sure why VS doesn't do this automatically -- it did it for my other projects in the same solution.
Problem
I am working on ASP.Net MVC 3. When I build it in debug mode, all files go to the bin folder. But I have seen people with "Debug" & "Release" folders inside the bin folder. Why don't I have that in my bin folder? How do I have Debug & Release folders in my bin folder? Or should I really have them? Then I saw that there are Debug & Release folders inside \obj\ folder created when using "Deployment Wizard". What is the different between these folders and the ones under "bin" folder? Are these both same? Please help.
