Setting up Application Project Properties in Visual Studio .NET 2003


Adding a New File to the Project

Creating a new source file is not as intuitive as you would think. If we use the same route we did for the solution and projects we will not be given the option of naming the file before creation nor will we be given the option of where to put it.

Therefore, to create a new source file, in the Solution Explorer:
right click on the project and go to Add > Add New Item.


Choose a name for the file (Ex: main.cpp). This will create a C++ source file inside the project directory. If you are storing your files in different directories other than the default (project) directory, be sure to change the path in the Location textfield to reflect this.


Now you can start adjusting the compiler options!
