Problem seeing my code

I installed Visual C++ .net 2003 on my computer. Took forever to do and when I finally try to open my code to look at it and make changes, it shows my code as nothing but 0000000's.

What is causing this Any ideas I say that I need to install Microsoft Internet Information Services on my computer. How would I know if I have this or not I met all the other minimum requirements.

    You don't need IIS just to be able to see your code. You only need IIS if you are developing ASP/Web applications.

    Can you open the same file using another application (like notepad.exe) if so what does it show What happens if you just run TYPE myfile.cpp from the command line

    Is the source file pure-ASCII text You're not using Unicode or something like that

    I tried to open it in notepad, wordpad, editplus and it doesnt show anything at all. I am not using unicode.

    If none of these tools show anything at all then your source file has been overwitten by some other tool.

    I unistalled Microsoft Visual C++.net 2003 and deleted all the C++ files that I was using for my class and recopied all my C++ files and samples back to my computer from my flash drive and opened them in EditPlus. It is showing my code. Lets hope Visual C++.net 2003 shows it too so I can use the compiler that they provide so I can test my code.
