Help using a Project and using a CPP file

[CaptainBeck]

Ok i've started an empty project called Robot and its loaded a blank standed project
---------------------
// Robot.h

#pragma once

using namespace System;

namespace Robot {

    public ref class Class1
    {
        // TODO: Add your methods for this class here.
    };
}
---------------------

then started a new file called code1.cpp

---------------------

#include "NXT++.h"

int main()
{
    if(NXT::OpenBT()) //initialize the NXT and continue if it succeeds
    {
        NXT::Motor::SetForward(OUT_A, 50); //turn both motors on 50% power
        NXT::Motor::SetForward(OUT_C, 50);
        Wait(2000); //wait 2 seconds
        NXT::Motor::Stop(OUT_A, false); //stop both motors with no braking
        NXT::Motor::Stop(OUT_C, false);
        NXT::CloseBT(); //close the NXT
    }
    return 0;
}

---------------------

I've loaded the libariries and stuff but i'm not sure how to add the cpp file to the project since i'm new to uusing project stuff.

For VC++ Express, all you do is right-click on the Source Files folder in the Solution Explorer. You then go to Add->Existing Item... and browse to the file you want to add.

// Robot.h
#include "NXT++.h"
#include <iNXT.h>

#pragma once

using namespace System;

namespace Robot {

int main()
{
    if(NXT::Open()) //initialize the NXT and continue if it succeeds
    {
        NXT::Motor::SetForward(OUT_A, 50); //turn both motors on 50% power
        NXT::Motor::SetForward(OUT_C, 50);
        Wait(2000); //wait 2 seconds
        NXT::Motor::Stop(OUT_A, false); //stop both motors with no braking
        NXT::Motor::Stop(OUT_C, false);
        NXT::Close(); //close the NXT
    }
    return 0;
}

is the code i tried to make.

Did you add the directories I told you to on the MSDN forums?

[Nobody/Anonymous]

yeah i followed it all like u had sed. yet still get the errors

[Cory Walker]

All I can suggest now is to browse to the file that has iNXT.h and put that in the 'Additional Include Directories' field.

[Nobody/Anonymous]

You only have to include the NXT++.h file the rest he find himself. And put all the headerfiles in the same directory as the NXT++.h file. I had also problems and follow your discusion on msdn and by me it's working now. Not all the header files are in the same directory, that's the problem I guess.
