I have 2 different solutions.
And in each case I have some projects that build to bog-standard Win32
DLL's (not .NET development)

But if I look any include file for a given project (lives in an
include directory), I have lines like so

#ifdef MCA_EXPORTS
#define MCA_API __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define MCA_API __declspec(dllimport)
#endif

with MCA_EXPORTS defined in the projects command-line preprocessor
switches.

Now in first solution, the first line is always defined, in the second
solution the second line is defined.
Considering it is the same project, how can this be so?
Surely dllimport should not be defined?


Are both solutions open in the same configuration (Debug/Release)? Is
the 'MCA_EXPORTS' macro defined in all configurations the same way? If
you still think that something might be the matter, close the solution,
and dump the 'ncb' file. Reopen the solution. VC++ will have to
re-collect the Intellinsense information (kept in the NCB file). Is the
color of those lines the same afterwards? In any case, the editor
usually colors things correctly, so if you think that something does not
correspond to your understanding, then either that something is not
right or your understanding is not right.
