I am trying to learn C++.
I installed Visual C++ 2005, and I'm not used to the way it looks or handles.
Can someone show me, step by step, how to open a project, write a simple 'hello world' program, and execute it
i know how to do this with older versions of visual c++, but this one really got me.
thanks all
I apprecite it.

Visual C++ 2005 - I'm not sure how to run my program, can someone help?

1) Create an empty console project.
2) Add a new C++ file to your project
3) Add your source code there.
4) To build, go to the build tab in the menu and choose to build.
For more details, look at the msdn.microsoft.com help.

Thank for your reply, it was really helpful.
However, it doesnt show me how to create a simple 'hello world' program.
Ayman, do you think you can lead me through, without the wizard on
thank you!

You don't have to use the stdafx.h.
Also, take a look at the following previous post that contains other good links
