Project Compiling Error

Posted by on 26 Mar 2008 at 5:49 PM

Hello,

I'm working my way through the excellent tutorials on a website called cplusplus.com (thanks for pointing me there) and hit a snag! I started a New Project in the Visual C++ Express IDE and copied the code below, but when I try to Compile it I get this error:

fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header. Did you forget to add '#include "stdafx.h"' to your source?

My Project does contain the file stdafx.h in the Header Folder (automatically created), so I don't understand the Error.

// Test_Strings.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
// stringstreams
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  string mystr;
  float price=0;
  int quantity=0;

  cout << "Enter price: ";
  getline (cin,mystr);
  stringstream(mystr) >> price;
  cout << "Enter quantity: ";
  getline (cin,mystr);
  stringstream(mystr) >> quantity;
  cout << "Total price: " << price*quantity << endl;
  return 0;
}

When starting a project, in the new project wizard, select General on the left pane, and select Empty Project on the right side. Create your project.

This should make a completely empty project so that you can focus on learning the language, rather then MSVC++ adding its own stdafx file (Which isnt needed, anyways.)

---

If you want to stick with using stdafx, you need to add this to your source file:

#include "stdafx.h"
