compile code in Visual Studios

Ok, so i did update VS to SP1.

Still no cigar.

I did however discover something. You are running a C# project. I created a C# project and guess what? I can add items "as Links" with that little trianle thing. However, I am under a C++ project (Win32 Console Application), which doesnt have this magical option. =\

Very odd. Its so rare we find someone doing a managed c++ project that it never really occures to us to check for those differences (normally its C# vs VB)

I was just saying we generally look for differences between C# and VB.NET, it never occured to me to check to see if you were using C++

i am not comparing source code nor projects. You must have misunderstood the point of this thread which was how to link/compile files located outside of VS2008.

With that said, I have solved the problem. It was in my "Additional #include directory" located under the project properties. The directories were mapped to a different project, so the project was not compiling correctly.

Nevermind, my response had nothing to do with solving the problem, more explaining why we didn't think to ask what type of project you were doing (c++ win32)
