Compile and RUN a simple program in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition

[kahmed]

Hi,

Is there a step by step guide on how to compile and run a simple program like :

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
   FILE * pFile;
   char buffer [100];

   pFile = fopen ("myfile.txt" , "r");
   if (pFile == NULL) perror ("Error opening file");
   else
   {
     while ( ! feof (pFile) )
     {
       fgets (buffer , 100 , pFile);
       fputs (buffer , stdout);
     }
     fclose (pFile);
   }
   return 0;
}

using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition

Thanks,

The easiest thing to do would be to start Visual C++ express.
Go to the Help menu and select How Do I.

Then go from there, you will probable want to go for the fist link [Getting Started] and from there look for Creating a Standard C++ Program.

in addition to what Grey Wolf said u can also load up visual studio and at the start page on the IDE scroll down and goto the Getting Started section.
