 == Visual Studio: GENERAL ==

- Set project as StartUp Project to run your project from within visual studio (select project -> right click meny)

- With existing code, you might have to change 'Target Platform Version' and 'Platform Toolset' to the version installed on your computer. Use Dropdown menu for the project settings.
  If you have another version, VS might complain about the SDK version: choose 'Retarget Solution' in the Solution dropdown menu.

- Running from within VS: working directory is project directory ($(ProjectDir))! otherwise it is the directory of the executable ($(OutDir))
