title: boost .ipp file support in visual studio
body: <p><strong>{NOTE}: Visual Studio Dos support .ipp file. The problem here is more manual inefficiency rather than technical.</strong></p>
  
  <p>In a C++ project there are few .ipp etensions files. While compiling in visual C++ 2008, i see some linker errors <code>"LNK2019: unresolved external symbol"</code>. I figured, for some object file linker was not able to link few function which were implemented under .ipp file. I included .ipp files under project (earlier they were not) but still the same issue.</p>
  
  <p>My question is does visual C++ 2008 does not support .ipp file? If it does whats the right way to resolve these linker errors.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT 1:
  I found <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/boost@lists.boost.org/msg10544.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> link that supposedly should provide a workaround to make *.ipp work for visual C++. But, i am using Visual C++ 2008 and see registry path do not have "Languages\File Extensions" field as what this link says.</p>
