How to make visual studio automatically add files to the project?


Is there a way to make visual c++ automatically include all source files in a project's dir to a project? I want to see them in solution explorer, and include them in compilation. Not being able to do so becomes a problem when you are working with git.


Solution

  • I know this is an old question, but I stumbled upon it in a google search, so I'll add my solution for those future googlers.

    In the project file you can add the line: <Compile Include="**/*.hpp" />

    This will add all c++ header files in any directory under the solution to the project. You can specify the directories instead of the asterisk if you'd like to be more specific.
