WSS tools for VS2008 directory question

Question

I want to place an aspx inside the TEMPLATE->LAYOUTS folder of the server running WSS. Should I create the same folder structure under the pkg folder of visual studio or under the project root?

In other words should I do this

pkg->TEMPLATE->LAYOUTS or this

project root->TEMPLATE->LAYOUTS

Also where should I place the elements.xml and features.xml

Thanks, as you may thought I'm starting developing with VSeWSS tools for VS2008

Answer 1

Place the folders under your project root. And, it should be "Templates":

project root -> Templates -> LAYOUTS

I'd place the .XML files under the pkg folder hierarchy, though.
