how to compile in visual studio 2010

[dhruv227]

i just recently installed ms visual studio 2010.
i wrote a c++ program but I don't see anywhere the compile and run options. you have any idea how can I compile and run basic c++ programs in it ?

If it's the same as 2008, look up in the File bar for Build, then Build Solution (F6).

Run I'm not sure is shown there but it's F5; if memory serves on a c# app (not sure it's the same for cpp), pushing f5 also rebuilds the solution if changes have been made since last build (it might pop a box to ask first though).

Let me just use this image as example: http://software.intel.com/en-us/blog...sualstudio.jpg
In the second bar from the top you see a green arrow. If you press that, your project be compiled and started with the option specified in the drop-down box right of it. (In this example, it will be started with the "debug" configuration.)

For the compile options, right-click your project in the solution explorer and go to properties.
Just building can be done from the Build menu.
