I have error in Visual studio 2008

[Mouhannad]

Hello everybody, I have Now Visual Studio 2008 but I can't compile the samples who are on the site and when I write some c++ file has an iostream include I receive an error message from the compiler and ths is the text of the error "fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'iostream.h': No such file or directory" I want some lesson about writing an C++ source by Visual Studio 2008 please ..... thank you

My friend, please write it like this:
#include <iostream>
without the ".h" for this particular header file. Sometimes, for some header files, it wants the .h, sometimes it doesn't. It's for a reason, but I'm not sure why.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean exactly about want a C++ source by Visual Studio 2008, but if you want specific stuff about programming for windows, I guess I'm like you and am looking for good windows programming guides.

I have write this code :
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "iostream"
main ()
{
cout << "Hi" ;
return 0;
}

but I receive two errors :
the first error : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
the second error : error C2065: 'cout' : undeclared identifier
and I don't knew any thing

It's ok guy, do this:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
   cout << "Hello Mouhannad";
   return 0;
}

That's what it means by "missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int.
'cout' : undeclared identifier".
