Compiling Files in Open Folder Mode

To compile files in Open Folder mode:

1. Select one or more files in Solution Explorer.
2. Right-click the selection and click Compile.

Alternatively:

1. Open a source file in the editor.
2. Right-click the file in the editor and click Compile.

If no Compiler directives have been set for the file and the open folder contains prebuilt .idy files, Visual Studio uses these files to provide the Compiler directives for compiling the source files. Visual Studio persists these directives in the file properties.

If there are any Compiler directives specified at workspace as well as folder or file level, Visual Studio will use these to compile the files.
