dont make fun... just moving from VS6 to 2005. i cant even figure out how to
compile and run a simple hello world program written in c! everything i find
wants me to compile at the command line. surely i can do this from the IDE,
right?? where did the little link/compile buttons go that used to be in 6.0?

Did you create an empty Win 32 Console Project, then add your source code
file to it? If so, you should have a Build menu that will allow you to
either compile an individual source code file, or build/rebuild the entire
solution.
To create a solution with a suitable project:

Click Create Project...
In the New Project Dialog, select

Visual C++ -> Win32, then select Win32 Console Application. (Be sure to
provide a name and select your desired location).
Click OK.
In the Win32 Application Wizard, click Application Settings.
Under Additional Options, check Empty Project.
Click Finish.
In Solution Explorer, right-click Source Files, then select Add->New Item to
add a new source code file, or Add->Existing Item to add an existing source
code file to the project.
Once you have the code in the project, use the Build menu.
 
thank you!

Dont get discouraged...

I didnt even have vb.net prior ( i use to use vb 2.0 in high school and then
nothing )...
at least you have a pretty good idea of terminology !!!

:-) Were all in the same boat!
