title: How do I change the build folders in VS2010?
body: <p>I'm getting an error in a VS2010 DB project that indicates I have too many charachters in my build path. </p>
  
  <p>How can I change my default build path for all project types?</p>
  
  <p>Something like </p>
  
  <pre><code>c:\build\$(projectname)\...... 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:
  I've moved my project to the root of the C: drive and I still get the error with my DB project. I get this error when I try to right click the project and select properties</p>
