no "add library" after an update (Read 2528 times)

	Hi, I'm new here and I've just yesterday installed Visual Micro (with Arduino IDE). I've created simple Arduino Wiring Application for Windows IoT Core project and I've successfully deployed it from my PC where Visual Studio is installed, to the Windows IoT device (Raspberry Pi 3) to which my Arduino Meta 2560 is connected. That was after I've successfully added MuxShield library with vMicro. Later I've added Sensirion library and got some errors with "deep search" that now I know what they are all about... but then I didn't know that so I've just reinstalled both Visual Micro and Arduino IDE (here I've switched from the Microsoft Store version to the normal version because I've googled the former is troublesome). Now I've created a new project (but of the same type) and the "add library" option from vMicro menu is not there.

	If you click File>New>Arduino project to create a project does Add Library appear?

	Yes, but it won't be UWP/IoT application then... and I'm positive it worked together before. Is it suppose to work together?

	You probably has a project that contained an .ino of the same name in a folder of the same name. These are the rules for a valid Arduino project. If you are using propitiatory Microsoft Azure IoT then you are not using Arduino so should not expect Visual Micro to do much for you.

	SmartFormi (folder) --SmartFormi.sln (solution file) --SmartFormi (folder) ----SmartFormi.vcxproj (project file) ----SmartFormi.ino (code) So it is the same as the test project created with vMicro (except the first folder and the solution file which are lacking). But if you are positive that it shouldn't have worked before and what I want is not what Visual Micro does, then okay.

	This would normally work with visual micro. --SmartFormi (folder) ----SmartFormi.vcxproj (project file) ----SmartFormi.ino (code) I haven't tried the Microsoft IoT stuff however a year or so ago Visual Micro was trying to build the Microsoft C++ IoT projects and someone complained so we made sure we switched off for Microsoft IoT crazyness. Why Microsoft think it's okay to use .ino files for non-arduino projects I have no earthly idea. The .ino extension was created by Arduino using the last 3 letters of the word Arduino. There is no INO in Microsoft Sorry.
