I just don't get this....

Using Visual C++ .NET 2002.

I have absolutely no idea why one project will build, but another won't. For the longest time I couldn't get anything to build. I'm hitting F5 to do this. I followed the instructions in a tuturial and eventually got a project to build... ya know, the typical hello-world.

========
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "Hello World...." << endl;
return 0;
}
========

I created a new project more recently, same options... Console Win32 app, blank. I then added a blank C++ to the project. Now, when I code the same thing above and hit F5, I get the following errors:

MyProject_Test error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function _WinMainCRTStartup

and

MyProject_Test fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

With such simple code, how could this possibly be erroring out from one project to the next? ;/ so confused.....

You did a Win32 app instead of a Win32 Console App.

Can we just delete this thread now? *blush* :/

thanks much, I don't know why I'm so blind sometimes....

You definitely aren't the only person who's done that.
