in visual studio 2010 or 2008

Question

I want to use #include in my code but this error happen:

Cannot open include file: \'dirent.h\': No such file or director

Answer 1

Because this header file doesn't come with MSVC. Hence it cannot find it!

It comes with C POSIX library. The wikipedia says,

dirent.h is known to be included in the following compilers:

• Turbo C++ (DOS)
• GCC (Cross-platform)
• MinGW (Microsoft Windows)
• Borland C++ Builder (Microsoft Windows)

Microsoft Visual C++ does not include dirent.h

However, you can download free Windows implementation of dirent.h which you can use with Microsoft Visual Studio.
