In Visual Studio 2012, I usually use C# applications, which work fine. Now that I feel like I have a strong grasp of C#, I've decided to move on to C++. I have changed no preferences. All of my C++ projects say that the project is out of date. Here are my steps:
File -> New Project
Click "Visual C++" tab -> Win32 Console Application
Change nothing and click OK
Click Finish for the Win32 Application Wizard
Press F5 to run, or click the button (which says "Local Windows Debugger").
I'm not sure if I'm making a mistake or if there are missing dependencies. My question is, what is causing this and how can I prevent this message? If you don't know, then what are some things that I can do to find out?
what is causing this
=> Two possible reasons :
you just created the project and have not built it before trying to launch it
OR you made some changes to the project files and tried to launch the application before building the project
how can I prevent this message?
Tick "Do not show this dialog again" and click yes : your application will automatically be built every time you want to launch it.
OR always build the project before launching it

I click on new project. Select win32 console application. Click on ok. New project window disappears. 1 second later it is there again, without a new project.
I'm assuming you're familiar with project creation and have already done it with a different version of VStudio.
Its possible your wizard templates are corrupted. If you are unable to create any other type of project then it most definitely is.
Run the installer again and attempt a repair.
But if you are not familiar with project creation then just follow the wizard and you should have a project being created.
I'm really new to visual studio and programming in general. I'm using Visual Studio Community 2015 Desktop Version (from what I know).
I can't find a Windows Forms Application from the C++ category, while there is one for C#.
Can anyone help, do I need to download another version, a plugin, or anything?
Sorry if a stupid question, I just really can't figure it out!
There are no C++ Windows Form templates in Visual Studio 2015. As I see it, you have two choices:
When creating a new project, You will see an online dropdown, click that and try to search for "C++ Windows Forms".
Create an empty C++ CLR project and add a Windows Forms to it. This link puts it like this (credit to the onContentStop, the user who posted this):
Make a "CLR Empty Project".
Press Ctrl-Shift-A and create a Windows Form (under UI).
Inside the CPP file that is created, paste this code, replacing anything in square brackets except [STAThread] with the appropriate names:
#include "[FORM NAME].h"
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
[STAThread]//leave this as is
void main(array<String^>^ args) {
Application::EnableVisualStyles();
Application::SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application::Run(gcnew [PROJECT NAME]::[FORM NAME]);
}
Right click your project in the Solution Explorer and click Properties.
Under Configuration Properties > Linker > Advanced, change Entry Point to "main" (without quotation marks).
Under Configuration Properties > Linker > System, change SubSystem to "Windows (/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS)" (without quotation marks).
Though this has already been answered, I feel like this might help those who stumble across this in the future. While creating a new project, directly above the text field for naming your project, there is a blue link that reads "Click here to go online and find templates" If you click that link it will direct you to templates that are available for you to download & use. Simply use the hierarchy on the left hand side and navigate to Visual C++ and you should be able to simply click "C++ Windows Forms" and it will create the new project, while also downloading and installing the template for future use. So, next time you go to create a C++ Winform you wont have to search for it again.
Click File-New-Project
Click online
Click/ Expand Visual C++
Click windows form application
Click C++/CLR Windows Forms fur Visual Studio 201..
Write project Name And Click OK.
Download and enjoy!!
I'm trying to do some tutorial C++ programs to familiarize myself with the language. I'm using Visual Studio 2010. I have a Visual Studio solution with two projects - I'll just call them projectA and projectB. Each project has a source file with its own main method. However, when I try to run the program in projectB, the program in projectA runs instead. I'm coming from an Eclipse IDE where projects separate the programs. I've some msdn articles on solutions and projects, but I haven't seen anything about being unable to have multiple source files with main methods in them. Can someone help to clarify the Visual Studio Solution/Project structure for me, please.
Right click on the project you want to run, and select Set as StartUp Project
You have to right click on the project and "Set as Startup Project" to tell Visual Studio which project you want to actually run.
I hope this is a nice simple fix: if you look at your solution and have both projects open, you should be able to right click one of them and set it as default (Set as Startup Project), (which sounds like at the moment is set to projectA).
I have highlighted the relevant option in the menu picture:
Either you can right click on the project in the Project Explorer and select Set As StartUp Project or you can use meny item Project and also select Set StartUp Project.
I have a problem for my visual studio 2010. When I click start debugging button and it's start debugging.
It seems that there is no error "i just create one "button" on it "
But it will show Unable to start program 'c:\users\.....\xx.dll'
Does someone now how to solve it?
The second question is: when I click left button to see the "Button" source code,
why it will show all this project code? Should I revise some setting?
Visual studio will not run a .dll by itself. does your solution have an .exe project? if so, right click it and select "Set as Startup Project". if not you will need to create one, and instruct it to load the forms within your dll.
as for left clicking the button, I'm not quite sure what you are describing. can you post a picture?
In earlier versions of MSVC while running .dll, will get a dialog asking path for .exe file
But in MSVC 2010 and above there is no such option. To fix this
Right click on your dll project
Properties
Configuration Properties > Debugging. Here, in Command -> add path to your exe.
Add command arguments, if any.
You are good to go!
I have a really big problem. Visual studio 2010 does not create C++ projects any more. When I click to create a new C++ project (no matter console or Win32) it shows the next dialog, which should allow me to choose project settings, but I cannot do anything in this dialog (when I click Cancel or Finish nothing happens, I can just close this window), also, this dialog does not show all settings, like it had.
Non-C++ project are being created successfully.
I've installed a VC++ express, but it has the same problem. Class creation window also has this problem.
I tryed to reinstall VS, but it had no effect.
I tryed to launch from VS console devenv.exe /setup and devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates
I tryed this
This is a screeshot of project creation dialog (labels are in russian, but you can open this window in your VS to see the difference)
UPD: translated window:
UPD:
Skype main window has a problem - it does not display any contensts. It seems, that problem is in IE
Yes, these wizard pages use HTML and javascript and are displayed by an embedded WebBrowser.
Your IE install is messed up.
