You can't learn programming by learning a programming language.

Answer 7

Visual C++ doesn't allow you to compile a C++ file, an entire project is required. I'm typing this up from Mac OS X, so I'm unable to look at the interface currently, I'll be trying to give you instructions from memory.



When you have opened Visual C++, press Control+Shift+N. This will bring up the New Project wizard. The first thing you should see is a window with a bunch of options, click through them until you see Win32 Console Application (or just Console Application) and select it. You'll then have to enter a project name in the field on the bottom. Below that will be the location in which the project folder will be made. By default it should be something along the lines of /Documents/Visual Studio 2008/Projects/. The location in which you put the files is up to you, it's a matter of preference.



Pressing Next should bring up another window, do not hit Finish just yet. Click Next, and if you see the option for Pre-Compiled headers checked, uncheck it. Make sure that Empty Project is checked and Console Application is the option selected. Press Finish and you'll be given a Visual C++ project with Console set as its subsystem. On the left is the File Browser. You should see a folder named Source. Right click it, select Add, and then select New File. Create a CPP file and call it whatever you want. In this CPP file you can put your int main(), #include , etc.



For in the future, header files that you make for your project should go under Header, obviously. But including a header file from within your own project is done using #include "file.h", rather than using the usual <>.



Again, this is all from memory, chances are that this won't be entirely accurate. In the case that one of my steps don't match up with what you see, just guess at the next step.
