I'm 2 weeks into c++ and use microsoft visual c++ 2010 as my compiler. Anyway, I saved a text encoder project that I've been working on, which I've spent quite a bit of time on, as a .cpp file. When I opened it later tonight, the compiler screen just showed the background and did nothing, and then notepad opened with a blank 'note' where I guess my code was supposed to be, but it wasn't there. What happened? Please let me know asap. Thanks.
