Error when building.

  Thanks a bunch. I'll try it out and let you know how it goes.

  Just a couple of things:

  1. Standard C++ headers that have the ".h" extension are not in the namespace "std".  Since you included <istream.h>, cout would not be in the "std" namespace, but in the global one.

  2. I don't believe "cout" is defined in the <istream.h> file.  I'm not 100% sure since I've never seen or used that file, but I believe the one you want is <iostream.h> or <iostream> (see item #1).

  3.  The resource errors sound like your using a C++ Windows Forms project.  Sounds like the errors are coming from the extra "junk" included when you create a new project.  What you'd probably want instead is to go to "File->New->Project" and find "Win32 Console App" or just "Console App".  That's more inline with what you want.

  If you have questions, please feel free to e-mail me.

  It's meant as a reference program:
  
  

  // my first program in C++

  #include <istream.h>

  // #include = a preprocessor directive, performs tasks during compilation of source code.

  // iostream.h = header, in this case, one for the cout function

  int main ()

  // main () = present in all c++ programs. Entry point of program execution

  // contains the code that tells the computer what to doas a program executes.Because

  // main () is a function, you can write other functions within your source files and

  // main () can call them, in effect acting as a host for all the other code.

  // int = a data type

  {

  // { = beginning of code block

  std::cout << "He said, \"See you tomorrow.\"" << std::endl;

  // cout = uses << - the insertion operator for cout - to redirect text output to the screen.

  // /" signifies that an escape sequence follows. In this case, quotation marks.

  return 0;

  // return = describes the type of value a function returns to the caller.

  // This return value could be a number, word, letter, or any type of data or void (nothing)

  }

  // } = end of code block

  You need to include <istream> without the ".h".
  
  And you need to start with a normal Win32 console project. Not with a windows forms project.
