im using build solution with the new Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 beta and now get this error message when i hit build solution.

Can you post your source code?

/* This is a simple C++ program.

Call this file Sample.cpp.

*/

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

// A C++ program begins at main().

int main()

{

cout << "C++ is power programming.";

return 0;

}

yes im a noob at C++ but im doing a tut and am stuck.

When I input the code into my C++ compiler, I get no error message. And by reading the code, there seems to be nothing wrong.

I guess it wouldn't do much if you add endl, so that the coding line becomes

cout << "C++ is power programming." << endl;

hmm well...ill go try it and if it works ill let you know and thank you =)

I am still getting a lot of errors...idk im trying pretty hard to learn C++ but its just not going my way.

You don't have "StdAfx.h"/

Try repairing your Visual Studio installation.

again not trying to sound like a noob...but how do i repair it? lol

freedompeace

Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs (may also be called 'Uninstall Programs') > Visual Studio > Repair

ChronicSomething

okay im repairing it now ill let you know if that helped.

the repair didnt work for me...are there any other IDE's that i can code C++ in with a compiler and all that jazz?

xbOw00

Well, like you, I'm just getting started out, and Code::Blocks seems to be working pretty well for me. You should give that a try

ChronicSomething

do you have a link or a website for it i can go to?

i found code::blocks...but it says on there site that i need a new compiler that this one wont work for windows 7

i have figured out all i needed thank you xbOw00.

xbOw00

No problem ^^"

ChronicSomething

Also thank you freedompeace for trying to help me repair my Microsoft Visual C++...but i fail at repair not your fault it didnt work its mine lol.

Add on top of your code.

Either include "StdAfx.h" at the top, or make a new project with the "Empty Project" template.

Repairing the installation won't help. He probably chose the "Win32 Console Application" template at the template selection window and accidentally removed the include because he copy and pasted the code from the tutorial he had recently written.
