Several members of the Whole Tomato Software crew attended the Seattle XNA Gamefest<\/a> held back in July.\u00a0 It was a great opportunity for us to get face time with quite a few of our customers.\u00a0 We received a lot of feedback some of which has bubbled up in VA X 10.5.<\/p>\n

We learned that many Visual Studio users only work in the IDE for editing and debugging but not for doing builds.\u00a0 Because it is not being used for builds, people are working with solutions that are empty or are incomplete, adhoc file collections.<\/p>\n

To address editing and navigation productivity in these scenarios, we have added optional support for directory based file discovery. If enabled, VA X will scan for files that are in the same directory as any opened file.\u00a0 Newly discovered files (those which are not already explicitly listed in the solution) are treated as part of the solution in the eyes of VA X.\u00a0 The files are listed in the VA X file lists (OFIS and VA View<\/a>) and symbols declared in them are listed in the VA X symbol lists (FSIS and VA View<\/a>).<\/p>\n

File discovery is controlled via two settings on the Projects|File Handling node of the VA X Options dialog.\u00a0 The first setting enables this support for only when the loaded solution is empty.\u00a0 The second enables it independently for when files are present in the loaded solution.\u00a0 The first setting is enabled by default whereas the second is disabled.\u00a0 If you use partial solutions as described above, then we recommend enabling the second option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
