    <p>I've found some benefits to makefiles with large projects, mainly related to unifying the location of the project settings. It's somewhat easier to manage the list of source files, include paths, preprocessor defines and so on, if they're all in a makefile or other build config file. With multiple configurations, adding an include path means you need to make sure you update every config manually through Visual Studio's fiddly project properties, which can get pretty tedious as a project grows in size.</p> <p>Projects which use a lot of custom build tools can be easier to manage too, such as if you need to compile pixel / vertex shaders, or code in other languages without native VS support.</p> <p>You'll still need to have various different project configurations however, since you'll need to differentiate the invocation of the build tool for each config (e.g. passing in different command line options to make).</p> <p>Immediate downsides that spring to mind:</p> <ul> <li>Slower builds: VS isn't particularly quick at invoking external tools, or even working out whether it needs to build a project in the first place.</li> <li>Awkward inter-project dependencies: It's fiddly to set up so that a dependee causes the base project to build, and fiddlier to make sure that they get built in the right order. I've had some success getting SCons to do this, but it's always a challenge to get working well.</li> <li>Loss of some useful IDE features: Edit &amp; Continue being the main one!</li> </ul> <p>In short, you'll spend less time managing your project configurations, but more time coaxing Visual Studio to work properly with it.</p>

    1. COAs I said in other comment, MSVS is just a huge wrapper over MSBuild files. You can use these files directly without touching IDE. I encourage you to learn more on MSBuild

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.
