I am trying to work on a project which has as its basis in GitHub's MFCaptureD3D (C++) project with some additions also in C++. I get strange linkage errors which are impossible to resolve. I began my day today with updating both VS2017 and VS2019 with available updates but it has not changed anything. If I try to open this MFCaptureD3D project in VS2019 I get anywhere between 1 and 10 errors. Some of them are complaints that for instance #include <afx.h> cannot be found, although it is attached to the project, it is there. If I try to open this project in VS2017 I get at least 226 similar errors and sometimes 500 and more.

I have an old C# project, my workhorse, my database that holds everything I have collected so far during the years. It is huge, unfortunately too huge for my purposes now and when I try to open it in VS2017 I get 0 errors. Many hours are spent uselessly fighting fleeting errors.

I don't expect any help from this post, perhaps someone runs into similar problems.

Thanks, - MyCatAlex
