Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express?

I am trying to teach myself C.








Okay, I entered a simple C program(no errors in the source code). I need to know how to compile and link it. I also need to know how to make an .exe file to execute it.








I did put the program in a project. I hit build it and it compiled and linked it. There was no .exe file created though.








Please help. I need to know if I put it in a project or not and what menues to go to.





Thanks,

Depending on the configuration you are running it may have put the exe in the debug or release folder.





The best way to do this is to do a "publish" it will ask you which folder you wish to publish to. When publishing, it will create the EXE for you.
Reply:Steven K really knows what he's talking about; listen to him if you want to stick with the Visual C++.





However I normally find that their interface is a bit annoying at times, and is often hard to use. When I first began C and C++ programming, I used DevC++ and loved it. You can use tons of different features, all very easy to use, and its free too. I cited it in my sources.





I also like Edit Pad Pro, also free. It's great for multi-code-lingual people like me, who have to code in HTML, Python, C++ and Java all within 50 minutes of each other, but it has no compiler.








Anyway, if you still want to use VisualCPP, then go right ahead, its a great tool, but just make sure that your client has the .NET framework before you go and sell them a product.

Hope this helps!
