I have folder contain a Visual Studio project and contain lots of .h and .cpp file I want to put all of this .h and .cpp file into just one main.cpp file is there any way to do that with Visual Studio or any other things??
Depending on the functions and libraries you are using it can/can't be done. if all the functions are compilable in Turbo and the project isn't that professional which I think it isn't based on you saying you want it for your course project you can simply copy everything in a cpp and convert the header files into simple classes. anyway Turbo C++ is Dead!
You cannot do this trivially. You would have to refactor, as merging source files can introduce semantic problems. It's best to not do this at all.

i just started learning c++ lately and i am using visual studio 2015. But i have to manually remove the #include stdafx.h in my cpp file before upload it to the test server for my class, or it just sends back an error like this:the error from test server
I would like to know why this issue is happening. My guess is that this thing is exclusive to windows and x86 based OS?
Any help would be appreciated. :D
You'll need to upload all your sources. stdafx.h isn't special in that regard. Of course, if your course restricts you to one .cpp upload, then you can't use stdafx.h for that course
stdafx.h is the default name of a precompiled header for a Visual Studio project. However, you can certainly have a file named this on other environments. Note that the Visual Studio compiler processes this header slightly differently than it does other headers, if it is specified as the precompiled header in your project's property pages (C/C++ -> Precompiled Headers - see here for more details). For example, multiple includes of this file with different preprocessor defines will be ignored when it is the precompiled header (which isn't that common, but something to be aware of).
If you want to make portability to non-Visual Studio environment easier, it's usually easier to disable precompiled headers in your Visual Studio project. If you continue to use the stdafx.h file in your code, you will obviously need to upload it to your test compilation server, and may need to modify it and/or its inclusion into your code.
In Reshaper, there is a tool to move implementation from .h to .cpp easily (with a few click).
Is there any way to move the implementation from .cpp to .h easily? (The opposite way)
I am a bit tired of ctrl+c ctrl+v the source.
I expect a solution in form of a short instruction about Visual Studio 2015 shortcut/hotkey, resharper, visual assistX, or (less preferable) some plugins.
Visual Assist has a command called "Move Implementation to Header File" and is documented here.
Every time I create headers I have to manually rename their extensions from .h to .hpp.
And when I create C++ Projects with wizards, header files get created with the .h extension.
Is there any way to change C++ Headers' default file extension in Visual Studio 2013?
I know, it's a matter of personal preference, but I want to do it anyway.
The Visual Studio world uses ".h" extension, that's just the way it is and it makes no difference whatsoever the extension you use. They all become part of your ".cpp" files anyway when the are "included", they are literally copied in in-place of the "#include" line when the compiler runs. They can have any extension at all. It also doesn't matter if the source files are ".c" or ".cpp", the compile mode is set in the project properties, and will be C++ unless you deliberately change it, which would render most of the SDK unusable anyway.
first post and I'm pretty new to programming compared to most of you. I'm at a University and we have virtual linux machines that we usually code on and compile to. We've always had a command to instantly compile all programs in a file. Now I'm trying to be a big boy and use Visual Studio 2013 on my home computer. I'm having problem compiling. When I compile, it will only read through the main.cpp, even if I #include "blah.h" at the top. How do I set the compiler to check everything in my project.
I also don't get the point of the "build". I've never run across this before on our linux machines. We just write what we want, #include everything we use, and the compiler just reads it all and does it's job.
I'm a noob so don't judge. I am pretty good with all my knowledge, classes, pointers, data structures, I'm just a complete noob when it comes to compilers and IDEs. What is the difference in g++ compiler? My professor never talked much about IDEs and compilers aside from easy to use linux machine we have on campus.
TL;DR: How do I compile .hpp and .h in VS2013, always used easy peasy linux machine on campus.
You have to set up a project: File -> New Project, Under Visual C++ pick General and then create an Empty Project. Assume it is called Test1. Then, head over to the Solution Explorer, right click on Test1 and under Add, there should be Add Existing Items. Add your files and you are good to go!
You might want to read this question:Do I need to compile the header files in a C program?
In short, there is no need to compile the .h files since these .h files shall be included in the .cpp files.
In order to check everything in your project, the .h file shall be included in you main.cpp. In this case, the visual studio compiler shall precompile the cpp file which means the #include "test.h" will be replaced by the content of test.h .
What is the difference in g++ compiler?
"GCC has special treatment for files with .h extension when they are supplied to the compiler as command-line arguments."
That's pretty much my question: can VS 2010 check and update header files in C++ code automatically? And can VS 2010 automatically generate a cpp file from a header file, saving you the time to copy the function definitions from the header file? I mean, can it figure that there's no implementation for some method and generate an empty stub from the declaration found in the header file?
Thanks!

No this feature does not exist in the Visual Studio C++ implementation. Changes to a header file must be manually propagated to the source file and vice versa.
