Old VS 2015 gives compile error in VS2017 when copied in new project

Hi,

I'm rather new to this and do this as a hobby.
I have an "old" Arduino project, lets call it test1 that was succesfully compiled in Visual Studio (VS) 2015. This test1 project compiles correctly in VS 2017
In VS 2017 I created a new Arduino project, test2 via Vmicro - New Arduino project. 
Then I copied the source code of test1 in the new test2.ino file.
When I compile, the system says RF12 directory not found. However the RF12 directory does exist.
When I go to Vmicro - Add library and choose Build I see the library RF12, I can add the RF12 directory.
I get several includes extra in the test2.ino file.
When I compile I get the error RF69 is not declared in a *.cpp file.
When I remove the extra included directories in the ino file and compile, compilation is ok.
What is happening, what do I do wrong. Please help

added
Now Test1 also does not compile without errors anymore

Hi,

Visual Studio has a solution explorer which shows your currently open projects.

Above the solution explorer is a tool bar is small icons, one of them has a tooltip "show all files"

Click show all files and then right click the files or folders that have been manually placed but that you want to include in the project. CTRL+click allows multiple files to be selected.

When files are correctly includes in a project their icons should change slightly.

Clicking show all files toggles between the two different solution explorer views so you can easily see which files are included in the project.
