[RESOLVED] Project based include directories.

[John E]

Most modern IDEs allow you to define global search directories (i.e. for include files and library files that you'll probably need for all your projects) but they also allow you to define local search directories too (i.e. search directories that are specific to a particular project and don't affect your other projects). Maybe I'm missing something but I've always been disappointed at Visual Studio's apparent lack of "project-based" search directories. Admittedly I'm still using Visual Studio 2005 (VC8) which is quite old now - but has this situation improved in more recent versions? It seems to be a glaring omission in an otherwise superb development IDE.

In VS 2008 it's here...I thought this was also in VS 2005 but I could be wrong:

Right click project -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories.

Ah, it was there all along and I didn't see it !
