Creating New Packages - Saving in Project Folder Unnecessarily

In BI Dev Studio, I have a Project/Solution created successfully, which has got say 5 packages working fine. I created a new package by Right Clicking on a solution explorer and selecting "New SSIS Package". System has given itself a default name and I decided to leave the BI Dev Studio WITHOUT SAVING project / solution.

Even though I haven't saved the project / solution still it left a package in project folder with a name "Package1.dtsx". I think this is a bug? Any ideas please?

Thanks

SuthaThis is true. I am sure this is a bug.Tongue Tied|||If it is a bug, it is one common to all VS products, and has been since VS .Net came out. The IDE will always create files on disk first. You must supply the filename upfront for a solution, project or file, although in the later case in can be inferred as it is here. I'd rather it save it for me, than me forget and loose work. VS will also save the package every time you execute it as well.|||Daran, thanks.

I understand your argument. I suppose if it is unnecessary we can delete manaually, rather than losing hours of work incase of any disaster. Tongue Tied
