Change SDE-VS Project Location

General Questions/Discussions
1

I’ve just recently installed SDE for Visual Studio 5.0 SP1 - Community Edition, and was “playing” around with it. When I created my first few projects I accepted the default location for the VPP project file. Now, I’d like to change were this information is stored. How do I change the file path where the VPP file is stored? If I can’t change the file path, can I “remove” the SDE-VS project from my VS project, and then create a new SDE-VS project. I don’t need to save the old SDE-VS project, there isn’t that much in it. I’m more concerned with getting the files to the new location.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your post. You can move the SDE project from %VS_project_directory%/vpproject folder to another location, then create a file named “%project_name%.vpppath” inside %VS_project_directory%/vpproject folder, edit the file to enter the path of new location of the SDE project. After that, opening the VS project and open SDE-VS will be able to open the SDE project from specified location.

Hope this helps. If there is any further inquiry, please feel free to contact me.

Best regards,
