Ok so I have the need to make a static library that will be reused in multiple future projects. My thinking was that in future solutions i can just add an existing project, my static library project, so it would grab it and just work. However i cannot seem to get it to work. I have a solution with a console app and the static library at the moment and have made the console app have the static library as a dependency. under the project settings of the console app i cannot seem to disable using the "standard import paths" but even if i add the path to the standard import paths in the visual d settings it still doesn't work. I could probably make this working by making my own sc.ini but that is something i would rather not do if i don't have to and i am sure there is a way of making this work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You where right putting it in additional imports can work even though its all greyed out. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27223793/properties.bmp You can see that the ability to deselect and the text boxes are 'disabled' or greyed out so i didn't think they would function. Thanks for the help. would be nice to have this added with dependencies automatically.On Thursday, 6 December 2012 at 22:06:43 UTC, Rainer Schuetze wrote:Ah, I misunderstood, it's not a linking problem, but an import issue.
