2. Prerequisite Installed Visual Studio (see the separate installation guide on the course website)

3. Run Lola Run

5. Understanding Projects In this course, a Project or Solution is a set of files that will compile into a single executable (.exe) file. A project can contain multiple files compiled together. In this course, every project will contain only one.c file (“ex.c”). Projects are mandatory even when they contain only one file.

6. Creating A Project

7. Project Options

8. More Project Options

9. Clean Up

10. Adding A File

11. File Options Note the “.c” extension

12. Common Error Solutions: –Find and delete the file on disk –Add Existing Item

13. Even More Options

16. Debug/Release Don’t play with this, options are different for Debug/Release

17. Entering A Program

18. Auto-Completion Activated by CTRL-Space

19. Compiling / Building

20. Build Errors

22. Build Warnings

23. Running

24. Basic Debugging Step Over (F10) – execute a line Step Into (F11) – enter a function Step Out (Shift-F11) – exit a function Continue (Start Debugging) – F5

25. Debugging Over the Edge The compiler warns you when you try to debug “after the end of the program”. Just press OK and F5 to finish the run.

26. Advanced Debugging Add/Remove Break Point – F9 Edit & Continue – allows modification while the program is running.

27. Watches Manual Value Modification Locals

28. Opening Existing Solutions We open solutions (“foo.sln”) and not the C files directly. Either double-click from Explorer or File  Open  Project/Solution

29. A Ready Made Solution http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~rgross/CS/te mplate.ziphttp://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~rgross/CS/te mplate.zip Copy into a fresh folder Rename all “template” to whatever you want: –In File Names –In File Contents
