I need to send the solution which consists of 2 projects by email. Can I delete ipch folder?
Managed to find a pretty informative answer from the MSDN support forums: I'm not only a C# moderator but also a C++ user :} The ipch directory and the many, many new files generated by the compiler can be safely deleted. In fact they should be deleted (and probably are) for clean builds.
Developer file used by Microsoft Visual C++, an IDE used for Windows C++ programming; contains precompiled header information used by Intellisense, Microsoft's code assistance module used for code hinting, documentation, and autocompletion while the programmer types source code.
Yes, that's the folder used by the IntelliSense parser to store precompiled header files. It will be rebuilt on the receiver's machine. More in this answer. Use Build + Clean to avoid having to look at too many of them.
