I recently taught myself the basics of C++ (coming from Ada95, wasn't too hard), and was using Dev-C++ for editing and compiling.

For my 2nd year at uni, we use Visual Studio 2008, which we can download through a MSDN agreement, which is handy.

Thing is, programs I wrote in Dev-C++ won't compile in VS, so am looking for a good tutorial to get me used to using VS.

If you want your old programs to work, simply create a new project in VS 2008, then in the solution explorer, right click the project name press Add -> Existing Item, repeat this until you have added all the source/header files from your old project.

Hit compile. It should work straight away.

I should have said, problem sovled. Did a bit of detective work through Google, and found AVG was the problem (was stopping rc.exe running, or deleted it on installation). Uninstalled AVG, and is fine. Had other problems with AVG, so won't ever use it again.
