This tutorial shows how to use the VisualGDB CMake Project System to develop projects physically located on Linux machines with Visual Studio and VisualGDB. Unlike the regular VisualGDB projects that require downloading sources and headers on the Windows side or using hard-to-maintain shared folders, directly accessed projects let Visual Studio edit the files on the Linux machine directly, always ensuring that you are working with the latest versions of the files.

Before you begin, install VisualGDB 5.3 or later.
