how to start with Visual Studio C++ Express

[h4ever]

I try this tutorial to create dll.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235636%28v=vs.90%29.aspx
I succeed to created dll (but I build win32 app to try). Now I am in the second part, where I configurated the win32 exe app.

But I got these errors:

The MyExecRefs code is:
http://paste.ofcode.org/7km9bLKHcVkENbL6gsZjVA

Any idea where is problem? I think I have the paths configurated correctly.

The first error is:

syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'hInst'

But I really don't see missing `; so what's the problem?

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;

// MyExecRefs.cpp : Defines the entry point for the application.
//

// #include "stdafx.h"
#include "testingClass.h"

#define MAX_LOADSTRING 100

// Global Variables:
HINSTANCE hInst;                                // current instance
TCHAR szTitle[MAX_LOADSTRING];

I have similar problem here:

    if (PathFileExists(setts.TempPath) && DEL_TEMP_ON_EXIT)
        DeleteFile(setts.TempPath);

I see that the setts.TempPath is undefinešd. But how can I prevent this cause error if not defined?

error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before ';'

Where do you have HINSTANCE defined?

If you are getting an error because a variable is being used and not defined, it makes sense to get it properly defined.

I resolved the externals.

Can you tell me why I cannot open the file? I have uploaded the project with text1.scx file in the main directory. Please change the path on line aokts.cpp 401 ... this the path to scenario.

project download

Run the program to line 282, then it will break near the file_ pointer. I got message wrong pointer (place the mouse cursor on the file). Does it mean that the program cannot find the file?
The open action is in utilio.cpp line 14

Maybe I was wrong and the handler of the file is set correctly, I just don't understnad the messages in the brackets {}..

Later when I go on in debugging I stuck on this error:

This happens when I run FileOpen function. In the scen.reset();

void Scenario::reset()

Definition of the esdata.aitypes is in extern class ESDATA, public block:

LinkList<Link> aitypes;

Definition of the esdata.aitypes.head()

Definition of the class Link:

class Link
{
public:
    Link();
    Link(int id, const wchar_t * name);

    bool read(const wchar_t * name, const wchar_t * value);

    Link* next();
    const Link* next() const;
    void setNext(Link*);
    [B]int id()[/B] const;
    const wchar_t * name() const;

private:
    Link* _next;
    [B]int _id[/B];
    std::wstring _name;
};

And the function id()

inline int Link::id() const
{
    return _id;
}

Now I need to find out what's happenning there.

When I debug (F11) on original project, so on the map.reset() it waits about 10 minutes (I think that the map object is reseted, initiated before it will be filled with values). But when I do it on the changed version so on F11 it jumps in, first into the template head() where it returns _head and then into the Link::id(), where it fails to reach _id and error happens. This looks like access error. The change I did is that I created controller function from where I open my file, instead of opening file from the menu / dialog box.
