handling c++ in .net

[kapilchawla21]

I need to know how to figure out C++ code in Visual Studio 7(.NET), once , i goto new file menu, and select new file, then it opens it in the editor calling it source.cpp

now once i enter my code, it somehow dosent gimme an option to compile and execute.

I learned that such code need to be run from command line, cl.exe

So, I need help regarding that,
Also can someone tell me some ebooks regarding .NET, VC++ .NET, C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET etc.

You need to open a new project first, then add a source file to it.

he's right. just create a project from the menus (file?), then (i'm sure there are other ways, but this is how i do it) goto solution explorer (if not visible, look in the view menu) and right-click on source files, and add an existing file (or new if not existing).
