I'm fairly new to C++, so everything I do is with a single .cpp file. When I used the Bloodshed Dev C++ IDE, I was able to compile and run a single source file. I recently started using Visual C++ 2008 (express edition, if that matters) and now it seems like I can not compile a single file--I have to stick it inside a project in order to compile it. Is there a way around this? With Visual C++ can I compile a single .cpp file without using a "project"?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
