Visual Studio UM Quickstart - fordsfords/fordsfords.github.io GitHub Wiki

Being an old Unix hack, I never remember how to start a Visual Studio C project with UM.

• Start -> settings (gear icon)
• Enter into search box "remote", click "Remote Desktop settings".
• Make sure "Enable Remote Desktop" is "on".
• On Mac RDP client, use local LAN IP address. Select resolution 1440x900. Uncheck "Start session in full screen". Login with domain\username.

Once logged in, must re-connect to VPN.

A "solution" can contain more than one "project", which is a buildable unit (like an executable). When the "solution" is built, all projects under it are built.

But I can't figure out if you can customize things like include and library directories, and individual libraries at the solution level and have all projects inherit. I had to set those up individually.
