Code: [Select]
// Hello world example
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
  cout <<"Hello World!" << endl;
  return 0;
}

That works fine as a console application, but not as a Win32 app.  Even when I change iostream to windows.h, it still says I have errors.  

I'm using Visual Studio.  Any clue why it's happening?

Not in Visual Studio, it requires that you press a key before the prog ends.  

No error message, it just tells me that there's errors.  Usually 2-4.

It doesn't say.  

I wouldn't need to ask what's wrong with the code otherwise.   :P

It's too simple to be a win32 GUI app...

Have you tried the sample GUI app it comes with? There are like 4 pages of code...

the 'hello world' using cout was mainly meant for console apps

Console apps are so much cooler anyways, I'll let losers at microsoft code things like internet explorer and I'll stick to coding shell scripting, console apps, and web-backends...

MS visual studio has premade a win32 app with all the code (windows, etc) all done up for you.

If your just starting with C++ (or any language), stick with the console app first.

dude, it's all about the console apps...  I took a programming course last year, and AP CS this year.  ALL console apps...  The GUI stuff is still just programming theroyapplied to event based programming.

What do people here think of .net?

By the way, I don't trust .NET. It is like seeing the name 'George' on a womans drivers liscense.
