*.SLN files

[David R.]

It seems that Visual Studio 2005 insists on creating the *.sln and *.suo
files in a directory that's different from the actual website project.

e.g. I have my web app in E:\web\project1\. But VS 2005 creates a
E:\web\project1 (2)\ to store the *.sln and *.suo files.

Is there a way to force VS 2005 to keep all the files belonging to the same
project under the same directory?

Why? If you work with only one directory, the solution is transparent to
your website and is somewhat unnecessary.

Create an empty solution file from File -> New, and then add the new
web project to that sln file.
