I8's suggestion above is correct but also, make sure you add it to the configuration too (debug &amp;&nbsp;release). It's easy to add it to the wrong one and not be able to fathom why it doesn't build! I know, I've done it! :)

in your cpp file write<br />
<br />
#include &quot;lexical_cast.hpp&quot;<br />
<br />
instead of <br />
<br />
#include &quot;boost\lexical_cast.hpp&quot;<br />

in your cpp file write

#include "lexical_cast.hpp"

instead of

#include "boost\lexical_cast.hpp"

Actually, that's not the way to use the boost library's... they are designed to be used in the way I8 has shown, if you try to do it the way you suggest boost's self includes will fail.

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
