VS 2010 Integration Problems creating a new cuda project in VS 2010

Hi

I’m using VS 2010 and it was installed on WinXP before I installed the CUDA toolkit and sdk.

I’ve followed instructions about creating a new project at:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3778799/how-do-i-start-a-cuda-app-in-visual-studio-2010

but can’t seem to create a new cuda project correctly.

I’ve checked that files are in both of the following:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\VCProjectDefaults

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\BuildCustomizations

I’ve also updated the .props and .targets further to the following patch;

http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/4_0/BuildCustomizationUpdate/CUDA4_0BuildCustomizationFix.zip

What I don’t understand is when I open and run the vectoradd sample I see a “CUDA C/C++” in the project properties dialog on the left hand side. However, if a create a new empty project and select the build customizations I never get to see this “CUDA C/C++” properties treee node for the new project?

Also, if I select the cuda build customization for a new project then project properties tree disappears.

When installing the Toolkit I did a complete installation.

I’ve done everything as described in the Setup guide for Win but VS Integration is not correct.

Does nayone know what’s wrong.

I ran across this issue while setting up a new VC++ project, and it stumped me for a few minutes, until I realized what was going on. Once you patch the .targets, add the CUDA build customizations and a .cu file. If the “CUDA C/C++” menu doesn’t appear in the Project->Properties->Configuration Properties page, RMB the .cu file in the Solution Explorer and go to properties. Under the General tab, select “CUDA C/C++” from the “Item Type” menu. This will make the menu appear, so you can build the file and change the build settings.
