I am currently trying to compile a simple program that includes two header files. I see them in the Solution Explorer, where I included them through "include existing files". However, when I run my program it get the following error. fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'FileWrite.h': No such file or directory. THe problem is that I see the file included in the Header's folder and in the code I have written:
#include "FileWrite.h"
and then the rest of the program code. Is there something else needed to do so that the compiler can see the header file and link it to the .cpp file I'm trying to compile?
Press Ctrl+. to trigger the Quick Actions and Refactorings menu. Select Add file header. To apply the file header to an entire project or solution, select Project or Solution under the Fix all occurrences in: option. The Fix all occurrences dialog will open where you can preview the changes.
You make the declarations in a header file, then use the #include directive in every . cpp file or other header file that requires that declaration. The #include directive inserts a copy of the header file directly into the . cpp file prior to compilation.
Right-click anywhere in your file and select Toggle Header/Code File. Or, you can select Ctrl+K, Ctrl+O.
You can add existing files to your project by right-clicking on the Project node and selecting Add > Add Files.... Alternatively, to add an entire folder, select Add > Add Existing Folder.... The file browser is shown. It lets you search your system for the required item to add.
If you write in your code something like #include "FileWrite.h"
you need to make sure compiler can find that file. There are three options:
Which of these options shell be used depends on whether that header originates from this project (1st option) or some other project (any of other two options).
