As in subject. Thanks in advance.
I have several suggestions.
1) Do not hide salient parts of your question in your headers. Subject
headers, as you will soon learn, are almost useless and usually ignored
except for deciding whether to look at a post at all.
2) comp.lang.* newsgroups are about computer languages. Visuaul Studio
2005 is not a computer language, but a proprietary product. It has its
own newsgroups, mailing lists, and technical support. Use them.
Questions about this product do not belong in <news:comp.lang.c>.
3) C++ is not an environment, but a programming language.
4) C++ is not C. They are different languages. Questions about C++
belong in <news:comp.lang.c++>, not <news:comp.lang.c>
5) Before posting to any newsgroup, check to see if your post will be
considered topical in that newsgroup. In the olden days, it was
expected that you would follow a newsgroup for several weeks before
posting to it. The equivalent of this can be done quickly by using the
archives at <http://groups.google.com>. You can also check to see if
your question has been already answered.
6) Your question may have already been asked and answered. Most
beginners' questions *have* already been asked and answered, often
frequently. That is the reason that most technical (and many other)
newsgroups have Frequently Asked Question lists (FAQs). *Always* check
a newgroup's FAQ before posting a question. Our FAQ can be found at
<http://c-faq.com/>. If you follow a newsgroup (or check the archives),
you will see many pointers to the newsgroup's FAQ and usually postings
once or twice a month of at least an abridged version of it. If you
cannot find a newsgroup's FAQ, check <http://www.faqs.org/faqs/>. This
largely replaces the old <http://rtfm.mit.edu/> and
<ftp://ftp.rtfm.mit.edu/>, which has gone away.
