Component / file best practice?

[plokolp]

Hi fellow installers,

I'm looking for information about how to best organize files and components.

It seems that you can organize features into components. This makes a lot of sense. However, it seems that you can also create components than contain many files. Furthermore, every time you add a file to a project, they are converted into individual components.

So my question...

1. Is it better to keep every file as a separate component and then add them to features, or

2. Is it better to arrange each file that belongs to a feature into a corresponding component and then add them to a feature?

Thanks,

Rod

Guess what?

I answered my own question by.....

....reading the helpfile and following the links therein to the MSDN website. Lots of good information here.

Good job on the helpfile Indigo Rose. Great to see.
