visual studio - VC++ - Including header from a DLL outside of solution

Question

I have Visual Studio for C++ 2017, and I am trying to make a DLL for my own console application. I have the DLL and the console application in a different solution, so I am trying to link it.

Console project Path: /Console Application/Console Application/Console Application.vcxproj

DLL path: /Console Application/Console Application/DLL_test.dll

Lib path: /Console Application/Console Application/DLL_test.lib

DLL contains:

• framework.h
• test.h
• test.cpp
• pch.h
• pch.cpp
• dllmain.cpp

In test.h:

__declspec(dllexport) int func();

In test.cpp:

int func()
{
    return 5;
}

I have already added "../Console Application" in Additional Library Directories(Linker), Include Directories(VC++ directories) and Library Directories(VC++ directories), and added "DLL_test.lib" to Input(Linker). It compiles correctly, however, I can't include any of the headers in the DLL, when I should be able to include test.h.

What am I missing?
