    <p>I have found a lot of similar questions to what I'm about to ask, but they don't seem to flat out help me understand how to do what I want to do, assuming it's even feasible.</p> <p>I enjoy Visual Studio quite a bit, and I want to use it as a development environment for C++ projects, but I also want to be able to build any projects of mine on my dual boot Linux system if I want. I also want to be able to organize my headers and source files into a specific directory structure on a shared drive. I want to use CMake to configure a project to build it either with Make on Linux or VS on Windows.</p> <p>So is it possible to maintain a project in Visual Studio 2012 Pro to take advantage of its IntelliSense and compiling for the sake of quickly writing code and testing it, and then easily making the source files part a CMake configuration in a different directory (I figure I will still have to maintain my CMake .txt files no matter what)?</p> <p>I can do something like copying my source from my project directory to my CMake files folder every time I add or modify the code, then updating my CMake .txt files, but that seems time consuming.</p> <p>EDIT: I know there is a converter that converts solutions into CMake files. Is that my best option? If so, does it work well?</p>

    1. COwell, we use cmake and VS to develop. And after the shock (from my side when I joined the company one year ago) I like it way better to be forced to write down your cmakelist.txt. It makes you THINK about the structure of your project before you shoot into the blue (aka "rmt -> new file" ). So we do it around. Add files into cmakelist first and configure/generate the .sln files via cmake

    2. COcmake is a project generation tool: you define your project and files and build settings in one place, then use cmake to generate your visual studio file, xcode project, unix makefiles - etc. While there are some methods for going in the opposite direction, it's not the recommended setup. Is there a specific reason you don't want to generate your visual studio project?

    3. CO@hsmith I would like to go in the opposite direction because I find it more convenient to create all my files through VS and all around treat it like you would any other Windows project (while writing the code for cross platform), but at the end of the day having all your files in your folders with cmakelist.txt ready to be configured on any other platform. I want to go from VS->CMake->Linux Make. I want VS in there for the ease of use and quickly doing windows builds. That's the best way I can put it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
