Have you added your C/C++ file to your current project? MSVC will only compile files that are part of the current project.

lol, erm I take it you have actually created a project?

Which version of VC++ are you using??

The steps to create a project are different between VC++ 6.0 and the later .NET versions.

If I know the version, I can give you the steps to create a buildable project.
