The solution explorer displays the hierarchy of elements in the C# solution associated with the Project. These elements contain assets and code.

In a new project, there are 2 or more items under the solution: NameOfMyProject and NameOfMyProject.NameOfPlatform (there could be one or more of these).

  • NameOfProject - contains files for the game.
  • NameOfProject.NameOfPlatform - contains files specific to that platform (mostly, the NameOfProjectApp.cs file from which the game starts and the window icon).

Under each of those elements, there are 2 folders: Assets and Code.

  • Assets - contains all assets of that element.
  • Code - contains all code of that element.

Asset View

The asset view displays contents of a selected folder in the solution explorer.

Items from the asset view can be dragged into other editors (for example: dragging a prefab into the scene in the Asset Editor).

To create a new asset, click the Add asset button in the top left corner.
