    #include "Winawsvr.h" //

    Of course you need the above line if you want to access types in that
    file or other files included in above file.

    You need *.cpp in you *project* if you want to compile the code in that
    file. These two are different things. You are confusing project and
    class browser. You will add .cpp files to the project. If you dont add
    these to the project, these will not get compiled. If you want to
    compile the files, you must add these to the project.

    The problem I addressed was different; it simply showed how to access
    various versions of one file(same name) in your project. You still need
    this.
