Inside the Visual Studio 2010 compiler, you can edit, compile, link, run, debug and manage your programming projects.
Setting up Visual Studio Environment (In CSC Labs) • Locate Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 from the WorkDeskicon on Desktop. • Visual Studio 2010 professional and Visual Studio 2010 professional ultimate are similar IDE and both of them can be used in this course
Outline • Introduction and installation of Visual studio (VS) • Writing, compiling, and executing C programs using VS • Introduction E-portal and content collection
Steps for writing, compiling and running c programs • Create a project and project folder • Create a folder for storing programs (source code) • Add the source code to project • Compile and run the program
Create the project Select File Mouse over New Click Project…
Create a C++ Console Project 2: SelectWin32 Console Application 1: SelectVisual C++ 3: Select the folder where you want the project saved e.g. c:\user\<your login ame>\documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects 4: type a folder name, e.g. tut1 4: uncheck “Create directory for solution” 6: click OK
Customize the project setting click Application Setting
Customize the project setting 1: check Empty project 2: click Finish
Add a C++ program file into the project 1. Right click Source Files 2. Mouse over Add 3. Click New Item…
Add a C++ program file into the project 1: select C++ File(.cpp) 3: click Add 2: enter a file name, e.g. tut1
Writing code The area for typing project code The cpp file just created
Writing code Type the Hello World program
Build (Compile) your program [F7] click Build Solution
Build your program If the program can be built successfully, you will see 1 succeeded here
Execute your program [Ctrl+F5] click Start without Debugging…
Try it out! Comment this line
Rebuild the project [Ctrl+Alt+F7] This time, click Rebuild Solution because the project has been built before
Got an error message 0 succeeded, 1 failed means the program has problem! No executable is made
A better way: Locate the error A maker will be placed beside the line that makes program failed to build Double click the error message
Fixed the error Add std:: before cout, it tells the compiler the cout object is defined in std namespace
Rebuild the project: Fixed! It is success this time!
Copy your project out Locate your project (the path may be different if you choice different path in project creation Copy the whole folder into your USB or elsewhere
Reload your project Close it first!
VS without project loaded Click File >> Open
Locate and select your project 1. Select tut1.sln from the project folder you copy before Click Open
Work on other program with the same project • Within the same project, we can only have one “main” function. If you want to add another program file with function main, exclude the existing one first!
Schedule • Introduction and installation of Visual studio (VS) • Writing, compiling, and executing C programs using VS • Introduction E-portal and content collection
Uploading your programs to the e-portal content collection • Login to e-portal • Click content collection • Click "Add Item" • Select the file (with extension .c, e.g. Hello.c) and click "submit"
What you have done in this Tutorial • Create a Visual Studio 2010 Project • Create and add a C program into the project • Write a simple Hello World Program • Build and Execute the program • Locate the syntax error of a program
