Just a dumb question, how does one use dub with VisualD? I have a project that compiles without issue with dub. It has 2 dependencies, dxml and dwt.
dxml is no problem, dwt is a bit bigger. Dub has no issue to download and compile it.
With Visual Studio I was not able to instruct the IDE to either take the dependencies from the dub.json or to call dub to build the program.

I presume you did generate visual studio solution and projects from the dub.json/dub.sdl using the `dub.exe generate visuald <dub.json>`?

When that doesn't work out. Try to build dwt first through visuald with a dub generated visual studio solution.
