Description
I'm currently trying to use SWiG to create an interface for ovpncli.hpp in order to be able to access the API from my C# project.
First of all, I would like to know why Visual Studio (tested with 2015 and 2017) ignores all directories in the OpenVPN project folder as like as shown in the image https://imgur.com/a/cXoj6Nj. I basically added the OpenVPN project to my current project using Visual Studio.
And my main problem is that SWiG ignores all specified headers if I compile the file ovpncli.i with the following command:
C:\swigwin-3.0.12\swig -c++ -csharp -outdir C:\swigwin-3.0.12\Generated ovpncli.i

Sorry for posting this in the issues section but this request is really urgent for me. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Chris

Research direction
Start with ovpncli.hpp and ovpncli.i, then reproduce the reported SWIG command using the paths in the issue. Investigate why the specified headers are ignored and why the OpenVPN project directories are not shown in Visual Studio. Done means a usable C# interface for the ovpncli API in Xamarin Android.
