SYSK 61: Creating Temporary (not persisted, a.k.a. in-memory) Projects in VS 2005
If you miss the old VB 6.0 (and prior) feature of being able to create a project and not save it to the disk (e.g. a short lived test project you plan to run once and then destroy), the read on…
In VS.NET it’s called Zero-Impact Projects, and it allows you to create projects without saving anything on disk. To enable/disable Zero-Impact Projects (ZIPs), go to Tools – Options – Project and Solutions – General. You’ll see the option “Save new projects when created.” This option is checked by default; to enable ZIPs simply uncheck it.
Note: this option does not apply to VC projects.
