Working with multiple files in Visual Studio

Hello,

I think that would be important to explain how to use Visual Studio same way as Mono regarding implementing the same multiple files-workflow.

:point_right: Visual Studio handles multiple files even more easily than the mono workspace.

Any time you add a new file to the Visual Studio project, it automatically includes it when you compile. So the task of listing the components on the command line when you build using mono is completely eliminated.

Also, the standard build operation in Visual Studio automatically runs the executable when the build is successful, so running as a separate step from building is also eliminated.

Thanks Steven,

Well, the question is how. I think this would be useful if the Visual Studio videos include step by step tutorials how to handle multiple files as in Mono. (I started watching Lynda tutorials hope I'll find it soon).
