    <p>I have a few things that I cannot find a good way to perform in Visual Studio:</p> <ol> <li><p>Pre-build step invokes a code generator that generates some source files which are later compiled. This can be solved to a limited extent by adding blank files to the project (which are later replaced with real generated files), but it does not work if I don't know names and/or the number of auto-generated source files. I can easily solve it in <code>GNU make</code> using <code>$(wildcard generated/*.c)</code>. How can I do something similar with Visual Studio?</p></li> <li><p>Can I prevent pre-build/post-build event running if the files do not need to be modified (<code>"make"</code> behaviour)? The current workaround is to write a wrapper script that will check timestamps for me, which works, but is a bit clunky.</p></li> <li><p>What is a good way to locate external libraries and headers installed outside of VS? In *nix case, they would normally be installed in the system paths, or located with <code>autoconf</code>. I suppose I can specify paths with user-defined macros in project settings, but where is a good place to put these macros so they can be easily found and adjusted?</p></li> </ol> <p>Just to be clear, I am aware that better Windows build systems exist (<code>CMake</code>, <code>SCons</code>), but they usually generate VS project files themselves, and I need to integrate this project into existing VS build system, so it is desirable that I have just plain VS project files, not generated ones.</p>

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.
