to start you'll want to go to file new... then create new project. if you want to do a c or c++ app. you'll want to chose a winconsole32 application. then click ok, then you'll want to go to file new again and create a new c/c++ file. name your file then start your coding.....check out the tutorials on this site to help get ya started.

Your best bet is to either read the manual that comes with C++.net or to buy a book. A little reading and research can go a long way.

i think he means that the standard type in visual c is a c++ file,
when you create an empty project, select new and text file...name it "whatever.c" using the "" so that it doesn't save it as .c.txt
