You know what Einar, I did find the bin directory. It was under my project folder like you said. I just didn't look hard enough.

Why does .NET create two folders with the same name when I save my project as.....
...project\MyConsolePrj\MyConsolePrj\bin.... Why Two MyConsolePrj?

Thanks.

>>hmmm... nope. no bin directory. maybe it's because I'm using Express.
