Property Value

Type: System::String^

A path to use when searching for include files while building a Visual C++ project. IncludeDirectories corresponds to the environment variable, INCLUDE.

By default in Visual C++ 2010, this property does not inherit from parent or project defaults. To inherit defaults when you set an include files path, append the project $(IncludePath) macro to the path. For an example of inheriting project defaults for a property similar to this one, see the remarks and example for ExcludeDirectories.

See How to: Compile Example Code for Project Model Extensibility for information about how to compile and run this example.

The following example modifies the IncludeDirectories property in the integrated development environment (IDE):

VB
Copy 
' add reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine
Imports EnvDTE
Imports Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine

Public Module Module1
    Sub Test()
        Dim prj As VCProject
        Dim cfgs, tools As IVCCollection
        Dim cfg As VCConfiguration
        Dim p As VCPlatform
        Dim x As String
        prj = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object
        p = prj.Platforms(1)
        x = p.IncludeDirectories
        p.IncludeDirectories = x + ";something"
        MsgBox(p.IncludeDirectories)
    End Sub
End Module
