The VS.NET's Tools menu can be customized with your own commands, to launch external programs. For example, you may want to have a command that opens the current project's folder in a Windows Explorer window, to easily manage the project's files. To add such a new command, click Tools | External Tools… and a popup dialog will let you define the name of the new command and the executable program to run when the item is clicked. Call the command "Explore project's folder", and make it point to "explorer.exe". Finally type "$(ProjectDir)" in the Arguments textbox, and close the dialog by clicking OK.
The $(ProjectDir) is a special built-in variable that returns the project's folder path. Other commonly used VS.NET's variables are $(SolutionDir) for the solution's folder, and $(TargetDir) for the output folder, but there are many more. |
