SYMPTOMS

In Visual C++ .NET, the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) Class Wizard creates header and implementation code for your class, and adds .cpp and .h files to the project. However, when you use the MFC Class Wizard to create a class in an MFC Extension DLL project, you may receive the following error message while compiling the project:
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: '<project name>.h': No such file or directory

CAUSE

The MFC Class Wizard incorrectly inserts code in the <classname>.cpp file to include the <project name>.h file.

WORKAROUND

To work around the problem, remove following line of code from the <classname>.cpp file:
#include "<project name>.h"

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
