Visual Studio source file path name
I posted this question in the beginner section because it''s so simple, but maybe I wasn''t clear enough. I''m using Visual Studio 6.0 and also .NET, and I''m trying to set it up so that I can place all my .cpp and .h files in a folder that isn''t the project directory (probably called "Source"). I''d like to put resources in their own folder, etc. I looked through some of the compiler help, but alas I am too incompetent to find the solution. I know it''s possible - could some kind developer clue me in on how to do it? Thanks so much in advance.

For VC++, you can add files from whenever you want. In general, however, it is not worth it to fight the IDE on this. Just accept the defaults, and your life will be much happier.

Thanks, but I''d really like to fight the IDE on this one. I''d be very grateful if someone could give me step by step directions (like which menu to pull down, etc.) if they know how it''s done. Thanks for the suggestion though - I''m obviously having a struggle with Visual Studio at the current moment
Theres no trick to it - just add the files. VC++ doesn''t particularly care much for where they are located.

For VC 6, open the Workspace window, click the FileView tab at the bottom, right click any folder and Add Files to Folder...
If at a later time you want to change a file location (but not name, you can''t do that), you can right click a file, properties, and enter the new file path. But don''t use this method much unless you are desperate... best to remove and add files instead of manually fiddling with the path.
