In Visual Studio your code needs to be in a Project before you can Build/Debug it. You can't just open your .cpp
file and run it. (When you create a project, Visual Studio creates a solution to contain it (a solution can contain many projects))
You can Create a new project using File -> New -> Project
:
then add your code to that project or if the you already have your source code files you can use the "Create a Project from Existing Code Files" wizard which is available under File -> New -> Project from existing code
