I am new to Visual Studio. I just followed a tutorial and successfully wrote and ran a simple program. But after I closed Visual Studio and double click the cpp file I just wrote. I can't find the build menu in the Visual Studio. Could anyone tell me how to open and run the existing cpp file? I need to do some debug and don't want to begin a new project and copy the code again and again. Thanks!

Open vs, create a VC++ MFC Application project. In Solution Explorer, right-click on the solution,select Add->New Project. Choose Visual C++ > Windows Desktop Wizard and it popups the wizard windows, click 'Cancel' button.
If you want to build multiple configurations and platforms in one action, you can use the Build > Batch Build option in Visual Studio. To access this feature, press Ctrl+Q to open the search box, and enter Batch build .
Simply activate the "Build" toolbar in View > Toolbars. This adds the Start Without Debugging, Build Project, and Build Solution buttons to the Toolbar.
Click the "File" menu item, then select "Open." Double-click the CPP file to load the source code in Visual Studio.
You need to open more than the .cpp file alone.
Make sure you open the whole project or solution (File/Open/Project - .sln, .vcxproj, .vcproj). Double clicking on a .cpp file will open that file only.
Then you should be able to build the project (or hit Ctrl-F5).
