Check your #include statements - you have probably miss-spelled the file, or missed out the ".h" on the end. The error message should tell you the file name it is looking for, and (*probably) the line it is looking for it at. If not, you can search for the given file name.

The actual error is ..
unable to start program 'C:\Work_Space\Studio\M number of lines\debug\M number of lines.exe'.
The system cannot find the file specified

Have you tried a clean and then a full rebuild?

Usman Hunjra 2-Jan-13 14:52pm

clean .. I don't know how to clean ..???? Can you please tell me . ?!

On the Menu bar, under "Build" - you should have "clean solution".

In theory it should be done when you do a full rebuild, but I'm never sure VS gets it right every time.

Yep .. I got it ..
Thank you Sir .. GOD Bless You ...
