Hi

I have created a C++ Project in Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate.

How do I add C++ cpp and header files to that existing Visual Studio Project and then make them show up in Solution Explorer?

Yours sincerely,

Arvind.

Hi Arvind,

If you want to add a new .cpp file to a project, you could use “add new item” option if you right click your project in solution Explorer windows.

For another issue, if you want to add head file, I think you could get useful information from the following threads:
