errors in microsoft visual c++ 2010

[fmasroor]

I am using microsoft visual c++ 2010. when I compile, it gives me several warnings, and the ocassional errors. However, most of these warnings are in the header files that are included in the program. Is there a setting that only displays errors/warnings in the program and not the includes?
Not looking for how to fix the header errors, just a setting.

Please post your code and the errors you're getting. Just because the errors are being thrown in compiler-provided headers doesn't mean your code isn't wrong.

If you don't like to see the warnings, you can do this (although there's no problem with seeing warnings - the code will still compile):

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vcgeneral/thread/cc2488bf-9100-46a6-a2e0-968e5d5707fc

The error on the end is in your code:

main()

should be

int main()

[Ancient Dragon]

Those warnings mean that Microsoft compilers now consider standard functions declared in string.h to be depreciated and unsafe to use. You can disable that warning, at your own risk, if you choose to ignore it. #pragma warning(disable: 4996) Put that somewhere at the top (after include files) of the *.c or *.cpp file(s).

You might want to start getting into the habit of using the newer and safer functions that are named in the warnings. Getting ahead of that game now will save you lots of headaches in the future.

[fmasroor]

Okay.. New program... 2 things wrong...
code:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream.h>
#include "simpio.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include "genlib.h"
#pragma warning(disable: 4068)

void main()
{
cout<<"hello"<<endl;
getchar();
}

Basically, display 'hello' and wait for a key to be pressed, but it just shows the output window and dissapears.
Also, the pragmas aren't working...

Switch from Unicode to MultiByte character set in the compiler options.

Since we're resurrecting this mostly dead thread...

cout and endl live in the std namespace.

Either:

using namespace std;

or

using std::cout;
using std::endl;

or

std::cout and std::endl every time you use them

Also, how many times am I going to have to say this before you read it? Why come here and ask questions if you don't listen to the answers?

should be

int main()
