Hi, I would like to ask your help for a very very difficult problem for
me to solve.Let me explain to you my problem in a few words:

Recently I have installed Visual Studio .NET 2003 (due to the fact that
I was experiencing linking problems with VS 6.0). It didn't take long to
understand that C programs couldn't be executed that easily in VS 2003
compared to VS6.0. Build and debug options from the menu where
unavailable, after that i tried a few things but still nothing happened!

I think that if there is nothing wrong with my configurations then
probably c programs in VS2003 have to be called first in a project file, I
have to say that I tried to do so from a console application but i
couldn't import C files !!!!

Erm, evidently you haven't been reading on how to operate it enough. Here's a handy tip: F1. (In case you were wondering, press it)

Running a programming in debug mode is the same as always. Press F7. Ctrl + F7 for non-debug mode.

Isn't it a bit silly to get a brand new compiler just because you were getting linker problems? Unless you didn't have the actual libs for your program, I don't see much point in getting a whole new compiler.

I use VC7 (aka 2003) all day to write, compile and debug C programs, so you just need to be patient enough to work out your problems with the interface. The IDE can guess a lot of things, but it is not all powerful and need some help.

WRT build and run options on the menu, are you perhaps looking for the toolbar icons as opposed to trolling through the actual menu? You have to add the toolbar icons, they are not there by default (dunno why).

What irritates me is that I used to spend ages making my own buttons, and then an update comes along and resets the bloody thing. I just use the keyboard shortcuts now.

I got to agree with that! WTF do they need to change that anyway? I put off upgrading to VC7 (from 6) until my company started to use it (which was only about 6 months ago, we are a conservative group), though I had faster results with v6's intellisense (or whatever it is called where it guesses what you are trying to do), sometimes it takes 10 seconds for v7 to figure things out and sometimes it never does.
