I am very interested in this. Currently, this is how I keep both main and test Visual C++ projects in a single source directory. I generate a foo.vcxproj and foo-test.vcxproj side by side. I adjust the "Intermediate Directory" to obj\main\$(Platform)\$(Configuration) and obj\test\$(Platform)\$(Configuration) accordingly. In foo.vcxproj, I "Exclude From Project" the entire src/test directory. In foo-test.vcxproj, "Exclude From Project" the src/main/main.cpp file or some similar conflict. This way, foo-test statically imports foo sources, which, if I understand correctly, is how cpp-unit-test works. I have also experimented with foo-test dynamically linking with foo, successfully. With this approach, cpp-unit-test works out of the box with my Visual C++ projects. Edit: my foo-test projects are always googletest console projects; Visual Studio Unit Test discovery works.
