Copying source files into a Visual Studio project
c++, visual-studio
Solution
Copy the files to the new location in Windows Explorer, then start Visual Studio and add them as existing items to the project.
Problem
I've created a new Visual Studio C++ project and I'd like to import copies of a number of C and header files into the project. That is, the files are currently in a folder on my desktop and I'd like to import them such that copies are placed in the newly created project folder. How would I do this? I've tried using File | New | Project from Existing Code but that just keeps the files in their existing location. I've even tried a simple Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V and again that imported the files but they stayed in the same place on disk.
