Visual Studio Express 2013: How to create project with existing C++ source files ?

Question

There has been a lot of discussion about this topic but still no concrete answer about it or atleast I can not find it. I am unable to find the option File->New->Project from existing files I have already the source files and to avail the advantage of some tools in visual studio express I installed the trial version 2013 and even after playing with it a little bit and looking for it on internet I did not find this option. Is there any possible way to create project with existing source files like this in 2013 version ? or should I install some older version ?

Suggestions/comments/solutions .. Please

Answer 1

You could try creating a blank project and then importing the files into it. Not sure if the version you're using is able to do that. Otherwise, create a new project and new source files and copy/paste the code (it's not a great solution).
