VS C ++添加参考-找不到项目

Question

I'm use VS 2015 Version 14.0.25431.01 Update 3. I want to add reference to lib to my project.

What I do:

1. Right click on "Reference" in solution explorer.
2. Add reference...
3. Windows shows and tell that: "No items found".

Already try to set "Common Language Runtime Support (/clr)" but still "No items found" statement occur.

Answer 1

You could try a .def file in the "Configuration Properties>Linker>Input>Module Definition File" that contains the info for your Library. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d91k01sh.aspx

Or Stack Overflow:

C++ linker options for DLL (DEF, LIB, etc)

has good instructions on how to add a library to your project and set the Linker's "Additional Dependencies".

PS... I've found it's difficult to take a non CLR project and try to convert it into a CLR project. There are lots of switches to get it all right. I've found it easier (when absolutely needed) to create a new CLR project and then copy the code over. A clean CLR project will allow you to get to the "Add Reference" you are used to. (Just be aware CLR adds a bit more memory processing behind the scenes and can lead to slightly slower code.)
