Hello!
When i create a new project and use an existing IAR project as the base, all the files is just linked back to the original folder path, and is not moved into the new visual basic project folder.
The same happens if i right click in the solution explorer, click “Add -> Existing Item…”, it also just links to the file that im adding, and doesn’t make a copy of it and place it in the new project folder.
The file is still linked to the folder i had them in on the desktop..
Is this normal behavior of VS? It seems to create some problems with header files the compiler can’t find, even though i can see the file in the solution explorer.
Am i doing something wrong? Or how would i be able to fix this problem?
Hi,
Sorry, this is by design – the files are indeed referenced in-place. If you would like to copy them instead, please try making a copy of the entire project and selecting “Move VS project to the imported project directory”. This will have the same effect – the VS project will end up in the same directory with a separate copy of the source files.
