I'm having a little trouble with the Microsoft Visual C++ Express Beta.

1. How do I add objects or Items to my programs?

2. How do I compile (lol)

well, first you need to learn C++. If you don't know C++, visual C++ is useless.

You can use the Visual C++ studio to learn "regular" C++, you don't need to use any of the "Visual" features until/unless you want to.

There are hundreds of beginner and tutorial C++ websites and books available. Here's a few good links:

http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html

As well, several of us here will be glad to help out!
