visual studio .net setup: How can I add a .cpp to Visual Studio .Net that I do not want compiled
in a build?

I have a C++ project, and I want to have some unit test classes in the
project. However, I do not want them compiled in VS because I haven't
gotten cppunit configured for VS. Hence, I would only get errors when
I compile.I am using a makefile to compile the unit tests separately.

However, I would still like to use Intellisense in VS for editing the
unit test classes.

Is this even possible?

Hi Ed,

In VS.NET 2003, click on the cpp file you want to disable from being built,
then inside the property window, you can see

Excluded from Build: change no to yes

Then you are done :)

Hope i solve your problems.
