Visual Studio 2012 C++ Empty Project error?

Question

I keep attempting to make a new C++ Empty Project Console App but when I make the project the VS (2012) screen literally is empty. No place to write my code, how do I fix?

Answer 1

That is what a empty project is. If you want a file (place to write code) you have to right click on a folder and add a source file. I suggest calling it main.cpp. You must also have a main function inside of it.

int main()
{
    return 1;
}

As a beginner I dont suggest you start empty projects.

You probably want to create a console application. That will give you a place to write your code.

Answer 2

Don't create an empty project. Create "Win32 Console Application". It will create main file method into which you can insert your code
