If you want to add a cpp file to your project you can right click on the Solution Explorer of your project and choose Add->Add New Item and select c++ file to Create a source file,Is your intent?

this is what i dont want to do: #include "c:/.....", since i can (like u said) add an existing item to my project, so instead of typing the file path all the time, cant i just do something like #include "filename.cpp" wich is already in the project?

[Hamid Taebi]

Im sorry but I dont understand what you said can you more explain but a thing you must inlcude filename.h not filename.cpp
