Re: Visual studio - projects, solutions

You add the program to the project. Projects consist of multiple components (program or whatever) and this is the basic level that you work at. A solution is just a collection of projects but its not compulsory to use them. They come into their own when you want your project components to be able to reference/call stuff in other projects.

Hi,

Not sure if this is the best place to ask, I'm just discovering microfocus
visual cobol that uses visual studio 2010 and having problems understanding
the organisation of the different elements of the projects or solution, I'm
not even sure which.

I create something called a solution called mySolution with a project
MyProject.
I get a folder named after the solution, in which is a subfolder named
myProject which contains a COBOL source file Program1.cbl.
The first line of this source reads <program-id. Program1 as
"myproject.Program1".>

I click 'Build the solution' and I get myProject.exe in the folder
myproject/bin/debug.

I can't figure out how to add a second COBOL program so that I can call it
from the first. Where should I place it and how should I call it. Any ideas?

Thanks!
