tinyxml library include in Visual studio

I am trying to include the TinyXml library to my Visual Studio C++ project with no success.

I have downloaded the library folder with the .h and .cpp files and tried all kind of adding... it doesn't help...

I found this tutorial, and did as it told.

It still does not recognize #include "xmlEffect.h"

Any suggestions most welcome.

I think Michael Yudchak's downvote a little unfair. His written English could have been better but his question I think was still valid.

The example usage given by Step 5 of the tutorial gives an example of using "xmlEffect.h" without explaining where it comes from or what it is:

#include "xmlEffect.h"  

int main(void)
{
    char c;

    xmlSetting xmlset;

    xmlset.saveEffectXML("test.xml","child1","child2","3000","4000");

    xmlset.loadEffectXML("test.xml");   


     c=getchar();
}

The solution therefore is to follow the first four steps, as it says, but ignore Step 5 and just try out an example of your own. Example minimalist "Hello World" example:

Example XML: test.xml

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Hello>World</Hello>

Example code: main.cpp

#include "tinyxml.h"
#include <string>

int main()
{   
    TiXmlDocument doc( "test.xml" );

    if ( doc.LoadFile() )
    {   
        TiXmlElement* element = doc.FirstChildElement( "Hello" );   
        std::string text = element->GetText();
    }

    return 0;
}

Take a look again at Step Four.

Step Four

Copy the following files to your project folder

  • tinystr.h
  • tinyxml.h
  • tinyxmlparser.cpp
  • tinystr.cpp
  • tinyxml.cpp
  • tinyxmlerror.cpp

from solution explorer add these file to your project as (Add >> Existing Item)

Update:

If your projects structure is like this:

   Project
      |-- Debug
      |-- src
      |
      |-- inc
      |    |
      |    +-- xmlEffect.h
      |
      +-- main.cpp

Then #include "inc/xmlEffect.h"instead of #include "xmlEffect.h"
