I have the following convention for most of my projects:
/src
/Solution.sln
/SolutionFolder
/Project1
/Project2
/etc..
/lib
/Moq
moq.dll
license.txt
/Yui-Compressor
yui.compressor.dll
/tools
/ILMerge
ilmerge.exe
You’ll notice that I do not keep external libraries inside the source folder. I’m also very interested in using NuGet but don’t want these external libraries inside the source folder. Does NuGet have a setting to change the directory that all packages are loaded into?
