how to get current line number?

I want to know how to get the current line number so it will be easy to locate where the error occurs.

Look in your documentation for __LINE__. It will do what you want while it is preprocessing the files.

If it's the normal errors you get when compiling/linking with visual c; just double click the error in the output window and it'll take you to line with the error.

If you want to go to a particular line in a file you can use the go to command (edit menu, or press ctrl+g). The line the cursor is currently on is shown on the status bar at the life. Ln XXXX, Col XX for line and column.
