Out of date error

After I build a C++ program that compiles and links without error I use F11 to step into the code so I can place a breakpoint. When I do I get an error saying my project is out of date. It seems like it cannot be out of date if I just compiled it.

I can turn off the message by responding to not be prompted again. I really don't want to do that because it might cause trouble later.

Could someone please tell me why I am getting this message so I can fix the problem rather than masking it by asking not to be prompted again.

Thanks.

    Hi Ayman,

    I am experiencing a different error concerning a "project is out of date" error. In a nutshell, I tried create a simple win32 api application using a tutorial I found on the internet. Unfortunately, I'm not sure from which website it was from, but I believe it may have been from http://www.relisoft.com/win32/index.htm. Anyways, when trying to debug this is when I first got the error. I clicked "OK" to continue building but that was unsuccessful. It was unable to find windows.h (yes, I have SDK and updated the directories in vc++ options) but this is not the issue. Now, when I try to build anything, I get this silly error, even an unedited new CLR windows forms application. I have reported the bug here:
