how can I burn my (c++) project in a CD ?

my friend did it but they faced a problem that when they wanna open it in the Teacher computer they had to copy it from the CD and past it on the desktop then it will work ??

If your IDE requires that the project is to be opened on your hard drive and not a cd, then the only way is to do what your friend did.

Also, if it is a read-only cd, you wouldn't be able to make any changes to the project or even be able to compile it.

Well, then the teacher should give you instructions on how to set up the project.

Not sure if it will work completely, but what about setting Project Properties | Configuration Properties | Output Directory and Intermediate Directory to a set location, such as C:\student work\debug ?

Well when ur project compilation is in process (thats assuming in cd ) does it by any chance create and database or file to store data or any kind of modification or edition happens in that case. well u gotto take care about that . cuz once written in CD (which happens to read only) u cannot forcibly (well u can but will be superfluous) push in file or modify the existing one.
