In VS Express for Windows 8, I am unable to create a console application. My understanding of C++ is very basic, and I would like to just work with a single C++ file.
Upon creation of a C++ file, I am able to edit the program, but not test. Can anyone either explain to me how to build the file, or create a console application project?
