Did u create and empty project and solution before adding your files. what are the other files in ur solution

[thepodest]

That's all I got. A .cpp. That's it. And all the code is just that.

I know C,now I want to do C++ and it's just give random errors when trying to compile. As far as I'm concerned... my code is fine... isn't that right???

In future please take the trouble to copy and paste the code and errors as text into you message rather than pasting a screen shot.

The problem is not in your code it is in the header iosfwd which is presumably included through iostream.

Check your compile options to make sure they are correct, pay particular attention to the precompiled header options.

Hey guys-

I changed the thread title to (hopefully) better describe the issue, let me know if you think it should be different.

Thx, but can you be more specific??? I don't really know where to find the options.....

The code in text

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

Here are the error in text...

Thx again...

did u create solution and empty project for this code?

[thepodest]

Yes it's an empty project.

[Savage]

Yes it's an empty project.

Project->Options->Compiler tab

On the upper right part of the options frame u will see Pre-compiled headers

Savage

[thepodest]

What do I change it to???

[Savage]

What do I change it to???

What's currently selected?

Savage

[thepodest]

It's "Non Using Precompiled Headers" There are options..... Create precompiled headers, Use precompiled headers, <inherit from parent or project default>

Which one do I select?

There are no bugs in your code.

Did you do this:
1) Create a C++ Win32 Project
2) When rthe wizard appeared you did not click Finish but instead clicked Application Settings
3) then you selected a) console application and b) empty project
4) then you clicked Finish.
5) then you ADDED a .cpp file to the project

If you didn't do this exactly, your project and .cpp file are not set up correctly.

Be sure you didn't confuse C++ with C#.

Normally, you don't get a .cpp file by creating a project. You create a project and then ADD a cpp file to the project.

Your attachment does not show the Solution Explorer so I can't tell if the .cpp file is part of your project.

Please check this link from msdn. This might help you to create a new project and solution / workspace for your .cpp file
