Dependent project cannot see headers from a library in refferences in Visual Studio - c++

Question

I am learning how to make a static library. I started with windows and Visual Studio.
The directory structure looks like this:
- MyLibraryProject
- include
- MyLibraryProject
- MyLibraryHeader.h
- src
- MyLibrarySource.cpp
- build
- MyLibraryProject.vcxproj
- MyDependentProject
- main.cpp
- MyDependentProject.vcxproj
MyLibraryProject.vcxproj has the following settings:
Setting
Value
Configuration type
Static library (.lib)
Additional Include Directories
$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)../include/MyLibraryProject
MyDependentProject.vcxproj has no special settings, except I added MyLibraryProject onto refferences, the image features actual names I used:
If I use relative paths in main.cpp, I can build the project - the static linking works just fine and it runs:
#include "../MyLibraryProject/include/MyLibraryProject/MyLibraryHeader.h"
However, I want to include the headers like this:
// fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'MyLibraryProject/MyLibraryHeader.h': No such file or directory
#include <MyLibraryProject/MyLibraryHeader.h>
And that just does not work. I also tried to use property sheet but couldn't get that to work either. I've been searching the internet, but generally found claims that if you add a reference, both headers and static libs will work.
Here's the full repository, if you're willing to take a look. Or ask in the comments if there's information missing.

Answer 1

Project references do not provide the dependent project with any information about headers. The most flexible way to do this instead (in Visual Studio) are property sheets. I created a file MyLibraryProject/build/MyLibraryProjectDependency.props:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<ImportGroup Label="PropertySheets" />
<PropertyGroup Label="UserMacros" />
<PropertyGroup />
<ItemDefinitionGroup>
<ClCompile>
<AdditionalIncludeDirectories>$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\include;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)</AdditionalIncludeDirectories>
</ClCompile>
</ItemDefinitionGroup>
<ItemGroup />
</Project>
And I added it to MyDependentProject.vcxproj in Property explorer in Visual Studio. This solved the issues and headers are now seen on the path I want them.
