How to Package Programming Projects

The Microsoft Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE) organizes the programs you write as “Projects”. Each project includes several different types of files. The IDE stores descriptive information and option settings for each program in the files kept in their “Project” folder.

When you are ready to submit your solution to a programming Project, package the folder as a compressed file in “.ZIP” format.

1. Locate the folder that contains the files associated with your programming Project. Look in the “Documents” folder for a folder called “Visual Studio 2012”. Within that folder is a folder called “Projects”. In this example, we are packaging the Hello World project.

2. Right click on the Project folder name. In this case HelloWorld.

3. Click on the “Send to” choice.

4. Click on the “Compressed (zipped) folder” choice.

5. This is your chance to override the name suggested by the operating system. The naming procedure for programming Projects is to precede the name of the zipped project file with your initials.

If your name was Joe E. Bagadonutz and you were submitting Project One, you would name the zipped file “JBProjectOne.zip”. The compressed file in “.ZIP” format is the file you will submit (upload) using Blackboard.

Your Instructor will unpack the zipped file and run your program to grade your work.

Include in your zip file:

· your project file

· your .asm file

· a screenshot of your output

Do not send a .rar file.
