precompiled header problem

[Lloyd Dupont]

I'm using VS.NET 2005 beta 2.
I have problem compiling project (it says: 'cannot find file StdAfx.h" which
is right in the middle of my project).
The 1st time I create a new project and it fixes the problem.
Now I have plenty of file I copy the whole project from one computer to an
other and I ran into the same problem.
Except I can't botyer recreate the projec now... (so many file to transfer..
sigh..), so I change my project properties to: don't use precompiled header.
It compiles & runs just as fine.

Now I wonder:
- what is this precompiled header option for?
- why does it break down some times?

Read that page and all the pages it links to and you'll be much better
equipped to understand when/how/why pre-compiled headers may cause you
problems.
