Supported Directory Structures
The following directory structures are supported by NPanday's Visual Studio integration. Note that using the bare
Maven plugins you can support any directory structure, but it may require manual configuration of various plugin
fields.
* Multi-module Projects
Multi-module project with a parent POM containing one or more modules, then a subdirectory for each module, which
equates to a VS "project". The <<<.sln>>> file sits beside the parent POM, and each subdirectory contains a
<<<.csproj>>>, <<<pom.xml>>> and source code. Source code is not typically put in a subdirectory under the module, but
it might be. NUnit test code may be within each module in a directory named "Tests", or it may be in a separate
module.
----
MySolution/
|-- MyClassLibrary/
| |-- Properties/
| | `-- AssemblyInfo.cs
| |-- Class1.cs
| |-- MyClassLibrary.csproj
| `-- pom.xml
|-- MyClassLibraryTest/

| |-- Properties/
| | `-- AssemblyInfo.cs
| |-- MyConsoleApplication.csproj
| |-- Program.cs
| `-- pom.xml
|-- MySolution.sln
`-- pom.xml
----
* Flat Single Module Project
Flat structure with <<<pom.xml>>>, <<<.sln>>>, <<<.csproj>>> and source code all in the same directory. Source code is
not typically put in a subdirectory under the module, but it might be. If present, NUnit test code should be in a
directory named "Tests", which is not packaged in the main artifact. See note below about "nested" projects. The
"flat" structure is only supported as a single project with no sub-modules, for projects of type <<<library>>> (DLL)
and <<<exe>>>.
----
FlatSingleModule/
|-- Properties/
| `-- AssemblyInfo.cs
|-- Class1.cs
|-- FlatSingleModule.csproj
|-- FlatSingleModule.sln
`-- pom.xml
----
* Visual Studio Web Site Project
Visual Studio "Web Site" (File -> New -> Web Site) project with <<<.sln>>> file copied into the project directory and
modified to normalize paths. NPanday will build a zip file containing the aspx files and compiled dlls (in a bin/
directory). Note: There is an issue with building this type of project twice in a row: you must 'clean' before
building again.
----
MyWebSite
|-- App_Data/
|-- Default.aspx
|-- Default.aspx.cs
|-- MyWebSite.sln
`-- pom.xml
----
* Visual Studio ASP.NET Web Application
Visual Studio "ASP.NET Web Application" (File -> New -> Project, "ASP.NET Web Application"). Structure is similar to
a multi-module project with a parent POM and <<<.sln>>> file at the top, plus a subdirectory for each project/module.
NPanday should build a .zip file as in the previous web site example containing pages and dlls.

Notes
[[1]] Some versions of NPanday have limited support for a "nested" project-within-project structure with source code
in the parent directory. This structure will have a <<<.sln>>> <and> <<<.vbproj>>> file at the top, then
directories for additional modules beneath, each containing a <<<.vbproj>>> file. This structure is
<<not recommended>> and not likely to be fully supported by Maven tools such as the Release plugin
[[2]] In the examples, <<<.vbproj>>> and <<<.csproj>>> are interchangeable, each structure should work for any
language, and a solution may be composed of different modules using different languages. In addition, tests
within a module may be written in a different language than the main artifact
[[3]] The Visual Studio integration uses the project directory as the main directory for source code. However,
NPanday archetypes will generate projects using the more Maven-like convention of <<<src/main/csharp>>>, etc.
