cannot open source file "abc.h"

Hi,

I have used Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Micro to load one successful project to an Adafruit M0 feather.  All good.  I tried another one, in a similar subfolder, naming convention, similar function, and intellisense shows errors says 
cannot open source file "SPI.h"
cannot open source file "SD.h"  etc

I know the include file locations are setup right because I can switch back and forth with a program with the same includes and it finds them all.  I cannot build as the options are greyed out.  I have saved, closed, created a new arduino project and pasted the code into there, no success.  Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong.

If you can build then you have not followed the name rules. It is best to use the Visual Micro options to create new projects so the rules are automatically applied. 

The rules are ...

These 3 items must all have the same name ...

Project Dir
Project Name
An .ino Name

Thanks




info

Normally when you make reports it's important to explain which Arduino Ide you are using and which hardware. Also important to post the error(s) you see and to avoid giving a bare overview with missing information.

The vMicro>Compiler>verbose and also "show build properties" options are there for diagnostics. Please enable them, click build and then post the output as a .txt file. This will show us what you have configured.
