    <p>Option 1 - Projects that have binary distributions for windows / do not build in DevStudio.</p> <p>E.g. OpenSSL.</p> <p>Projects like OpenSSL are best downloaded to their own folder and built using their own scripts. OpenSSL typically installs itself to C:\OpenSSL on windows builds, so one done, you can add C:\OpenSSL\include and C:\OpenSSL\lib to your project environment to access the OpenSSL headers and Libs. The actual dll files you will need to copy from C:\OpenSSL\bin into your projects staging folder (normally your SolutionDir\Debug or Release).</p> <p>Once youve gone through the hassle of building OpenSSL once, you don't want to do it again. Or, if you've downloaded the binary distribution, its best left alone. Just document to others which binary distribution you used so they can set up their Visual Studio build environment appropriately.</p> <p>Option 2 - Small libraries that are easy to create Visual Studio Projects for (or already have). Lua and sqllite fall into this category. For projects that are small enough, it is not inconvenient to simply add them to your solution in a sub folder. This way you can get their outputs built directly to the solutions output folder, and you do not have to bundle pre-build binary files in your solution making it far easier to share the project with others.</p> <p>Option 3 - As an alternative you could create your own standardized folder for the products of open source projects. Create C:\oss\include, c:\oss\lib, c:\oss\bin etc, add these paths to DevStudios lib and include paths, add c:\oss\bin to the systems PATH variable, as you build each OSS project, copy the appropriate files to these locations.</p> <p>Again, while convenient, this setup makes it diffucult to replicate the build environment on a 2nd PC, so you might want to keep the entire C:\oss tree in source control as well.</p>

    1. COI was hoping there was a brilliant or at least standardized way of doing things, but this seems to cover all the possibilities.

    2. COThe closest analogue the Windows environment had to Unix is the binary only WinSxS folder, which would be a totally incredible way to distribute official, signed, but binary, builds of Libraries in a way that would allow multiple different versions to exist side by side and applications (and developers) could choose the version appropriate to their needs.

    3. COBut, unfortunately, no OSS projects seem setup to (a) do binary builds for windows, (b) get the certificates necessary to digitally sign their output for WinSxS inclusion, (c) arsed to do 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.
