I am a .NET C# developer and trying to learn C++.
I am having issues in trying to create an exe from a console app from Microsoft Visual Studio when I do a build compile and check the Debug folder. There isn't any exe, just some manifest files and other files. I am asking this because I am not sure if this is how it works? is there any another way of doing this?
I have tried the Microsoft Visual Studio console and c:\cl test.cpp, this gives me an test.exe but can it be done from the MSVS GUI like in C#?

To build your program and create teh executable file choose Build My Project.exe from the Build menu - "My Project" represents teh name you chose for your project and the extension ".exe" is used to designate that the file being created will be an executable file.
Next step is for making exe file. Go to → Solution explorer → Right click on your project → Properties. One Project window will display like below. Click on application tab and set your application name icon etc.
The Visual Studio build tools include a C compiler that you can use to create everything from basic console programs to full Windows Desktop applications, mobile apps, and more.
Have you checked the debug folder at the solution level? I believe this is the default target directory. The DEBUG folder in the project is for the output of temporary build files.
