Shared code project can't see files of the main project (Read 674 times)

	I’ve got a pretty weird problem. I have a project (let’s call it Main) and a Shared code project. If I put this shared code project into the Main project directory (to subfolders \libs for instance), then Shared code project doesn’t see headers of the Main project. However, if I put Shared code project anywhere outside the Main project tree, there is no problem and all he Main project’s files are accessible from the Shared code project. Current workaround is creating a dummy shared code project where I put files from Main project which will be used in shared code projects.

	Would you be able to send a screenshot of solution explorer in solution view and in file/folder view when it doesn't work correctly? (just so we are clear on the structure and references that are failing) When you have the project in the sub-folder, and wish to reference the main projects files, you may need to reference them as below: Our main code header for example: MainProject\Main.h Referenced in: "MainProject\Libraries\MySharedCode\Shared.h By using #include "..\..\Main.h" in the Shared.h file But if it is a Shared project you don't know the "Main.h" to reference next time as outside of the Shared Project. From the last line it sounds like there is code in the main project which needs to be part of the Shared Code project, as you have in the dummy project you create to work around the issue.
