    stdafx.h

    I'm learning Win32 programming, and I'm using some of the examples from this site. When I compile my code an error occurs: stdafx.h could not be found. I use MSVS .NET.

    Thanks

    Edit your project settings, and turn off "precompiled headers"
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    That's an empty search, but it started me looking. Only thing I found is for MSVS 6.0, though

    Project->Properties
    Select the C/C++ "Folder" then the Precompiled Headers
    In the right hand side point at "create/use precompiled headers", then from the drop-down list choose "not using precompiled headers"

    Why me?

    Well, if there's a way to turn pre-compiled headers off, or there is adjusted code around I don't really mind

    Well the option exists for sure, just look for it a bit harder
    Did you actually create a project for example?
