Clean Project Overview

Clean Project is a utility that cleans Visual Studio project directories so you can quickly upload or email a zip file with your solution. How many times have you wanted to send a project to a friend or upload it to a web site like MSDN Code Gallery only to find that your zip file has lots of stuff that you don't need to send in it making the file larger than it needs to be.
  • bin folder
  • obj folder
  • TestResults folder
  • Resharper folders
And then if you forget about removing Source Control bindings whoever gets your project will be prompted with errors about Source Control.
With Clean Project, I simply run it and get a nice clean folder or zip file that I can share without any of these issues. For more see What Files and Folders Does Clean Project Remove?

If I install this, what will it do to my machine?

Email A Solution

Suppose I want to email a solution to my friend Sam. I've installed Clean Project and I've already got the solution open in Visual Studio.
  1. Select Tools / Clean, Remove Source Bindings and Zip Solution
  2. Attach the zip file and send the email
