I found this PDF quite helpful in explaining the basics of Visual Studio Debugger, so I will think other VS newbies will also find it a good start too.

And here is the .html version of the above PDF, without the diagrams(which you will need to see what is being discussed).

SourceSafe is fine if you have a local server. Where I worked about 5 years back, they had problems when an office in the US got connected to the SourceSafe server in the UK - apparently, it doesn't have very good safety on the packets.

Agree, working with SS over the internet link is head ache

I have to keep using this code in every source file that I compile, to turn off VC++ 2008 deprecation warnings.

#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

EDIT:

The types of deprecation warnings are:

warning C4996: 'fopen': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using fopen_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See online help for details.

Is there an option in VC++ where I can make it turn off the warnings as a default?

Thanks.

Yes. Project -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor -> Preprocessor Definitions. Write _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS in the corresponding input form control.

How do I set the debugger to target a specific directory? I normally put the executable into the target directory.

I've tried putting all the files that my program needs to open into the Debug directories(why are there 2 Debug directories?) in the project folder, but the debugger isn't opening the files.

It's giving the error message "no such files or directories".

I tried playing with the project properties, "Working Directory" and "Environment", but that didn't work.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Ok, I tried "working directory" properties again, and now it works. No idea why it didn't work before.
