First time running something

[Emwat Oon]

I downloaded Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express today and tried running the HelloWorld program in the tutorial's first page. I press F5 to start debugging it, but there's build errors.

// pj2012_1.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
using namespace std;

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	cout << "Hello World!";
	return 0;
}

cout has a red underline and std has a red underline.

You're missing the #include <iostream> header.

Add it under "#include "stdafx.h"

That looks so complicated lol.
i mean the 7th line.

im using Code::Blocks compiler and the same code would look like this:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"Hello World!";
cin.get();
}

Thank you. I ended up with a different problem.

Here's some info about it:

I might switch to Code::Blocks compiler soon then. But at least my problem's working now. I added cin.get(); and I see the "Hello World!"

I always get those messages in VC++, hold CTRL and press F5 to run without debug, you program should work fine!
