Extending a class between two Visual Studio C++ projects - c++

Please have a look at the following diagram
This is socket programming. Server is one VS Project. Client is another VS project. But, they both extend one class!!! How can I extend a class between 2 VS applications???? Please help!

Put the base class in a header file which is visible and accessible to both projects. #include that file from those projects and extend the base class.
In Visual Studio, you can make a solution which contains projects.

How to add .ui file in Visual Studio (2010) project and compile it

I'm new in using Qt and I have a problem. I have created a simple window (.ui File) with Qt Designer and saved it.
Now I want compile it with Visual Studio 2010 . How can I add an external .ui file into my Visual Studio Project and compile it?
Should I create a new class in the project? If yes, how?
The best option (and probably the only one unless you are using CMake or similar) is to use the official Visual Studio Qt add-in (download from here): it will handle all the pre-processing steps required by some of Qt functionalities (C++ classes moc'ing, UI compilation...). It will also associate Qt files (.ui, .qrc, .ts) to respective editors.
Basically, you create a new Qt project, then create the .ui (you can use the one that comes with the template), create a class that inherits from the respective widget (QWidget, QDialog, QMainWindow) (again, there is one with the default project). From that class you setup the UI (you link the .ui and the C++ class, let's say), create slots and connect them with the UI elements, etc.
For a step-by-step tutorial please take a look at the official manual, specially the getting started section.

Visual Studio 2015 Go To Definition going to wrong class

I just started having a problem with Visual Studio 2015 in C++ code. When I hit F12 to go do definition, I get taken to the wrong class. Inside of the solution, there are multiple projects with different classes that have the same method name. Here's a simple diagram of the project/class structure.
Project1
Class1
Initialize();
Project2
Class2
Initialize();
Class2 uses Class1 from Project1. If I'm working within Class2 and hit F12 on Class1.Initialize(), I get taken to the Class2.Initialize function.
It's almost like Visual Studio is only looking at the function name and starts searching within the current project.
I've tried restarting Visual Studio and deleting the .suo files.
This happens to me as well a lot of times, especially when classes with same name but different namespace are involved, or just with different class names but same method name.
Unfortunately I see the same problem in Visual Studio 2017.
I suppose the cause may be some deficiency in the Intellisense parsing part of the IDE.

classes are not listing in Class view(Architecture Explorer) in VS2010

I want to generate UML Class diagram from my existing solution. As per the link
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff657806.aspx, I have to drag and drop the classes from class view. But if I opened class view in Architecture explorer, the classes are missing.
1 MFC project and 5 Win32 projects present in my solution.
Am I missing anything, while opening the class view?
EDIT: The link says for C# classes. Doesn't this work for C++ code? (My projects are in C++)

Share headers between two projects

My project is in Visual Studio Express 2013. I have one Solution for my game called Game. Within the solution I have two Projects one called Client and one called Server. I wrote a Class called Game. I also wrote two more Classes, Client and Server, both inherit from the Game class. I have separate .cpp and .h files for each class. How can I use these files in both projects? I'd like to create a Client object in the client project and a Server object in the server project. Is this possible? Am I going about this the wrong way? I'm trying to use classes more.

Compiling and Running MFC Applications with Visual Studio 2008?

I was wondering if anyone can provide a detailed explanation on how I can compile and execute a C++ MFC application in Visual Studio 2008 given that I already have a .h and .cpp file only.
I couldn't find a decent and up to date explanation anywhere and when I try to create a plain MFC project in VS08 I get a bunch of xxx.h xxxDoc.h xxxView.h files, I try and replace those files with my own .cpp and .h files but i get a ton of errors when I run it.
So just to summarize, how do I compile and run my MFC project's .h and .cpp files in Visual Studio 2008 and create an .exe?
Thanks in advance.

It depends on what you are trying to do, but deleting the files the wizard creates is not a good idea. They are there because you told it to put them there (by selecting MFC-SDI/MDI), so they are necessary for the basic initialization and such.
If you don't need the Doc/View architecture, you can create a Dialog Based application. Or, you can even use an MDI or SDI app, and not use the Doc and the View, but if you want to delete them you'll have to make sure there are no references to them. What you cannot delete is the "MyProject.cpp" (where the CWinApp derived class lays), which does the initialization of the application.
Another option is to create a Console application with MFC support. To do so, you have to select "Win32 console application" in the wizard and then check "Add headers for MFC".
