Visual Studio 2022 Tutorial - How to make your project structure suck less

[@vectonaut1503]

Just wanted to say that this video was incredibly helpful and cleared up a lot of confusion I had with VS, thank you so much!

[@dandymcgee]

Awesome, glad it helped!

[@hankikcheez1480]

thanks for shooting this my way yesterday. Big help dandymcgee :)))

Glad it helped!

Thanks. Awesome tips. I have seen similar video of "The Cherno". But I like this one more.

[@dandymcgee]

Appreciate the kind comment. I'm a big fan of Cherno's; he has put a massive amount of effort into his channel, so that's a huge compliment.

Could you share the link (Cherno video) if possible ?

Cool tips! I myself have been an enjoyer of Visual Studio with CMake lately. I find them a lot cleaner and easier to work with than regular VS projects.

[@dandymcgee]

You should make a tutorial for how to use CMake in Visual Studio! I've been wondering, but I'm too lazy to spend the time to figure it out on my own.

@@dandymcgee I could definitely try that sometime but not sure quite sure if it would exceed 30 seconds since it is extremely straightforward. Maybe I will throw Vcpkg into the mix since it makes it a lot less painful when using external libraries in Windows.

@@happycrank7458 I thought this video would be 30 seconds too. ;)

Gj.Ty very much.

Do all source files need to be under the same, let's say "src", folder ? Can I not create subfolders to separate them? I am getting compiler errors when I tried that.

[@dandymcgee]

You can have subfolders, it will work fine. Read the error(s) and fix whatever it's complaining about.

[@georgederleres8489]

@@dandymcgee I actually had to go to Additional include directories, and add all folders there.

Visual studio is infuriating. I'm probably going to pay for intellij.

[@dandymcgee]

Considering IntelliJ is for Java and Visual Studio is for C++/C# I'm not sure how that's going to help you. Perhaps you mean CLion? :D

[@thoughtsuponatime847]

@dandymcgee I have never used clion. Is is better than visual studio?
