My VS 2008 Pro. doesn't recognize C++ headers.?
When programming in C++ with my Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition, well, it doesn't recognize any namespace or any header other than "stdafx", which of course, isn't really cool when it comes to actually making a program. So, any suggestions about how to correct this?
N.B.
In the headers folder of any program, there are only two .h files, one of which is "stdafx.h". So, do I need to create another .h file in it for the other headers to work correctly or what?
Thanks.
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

Just a quick thought (which actually occurred to me yesterday AFTER I was trying to answer someone else's question.
What does your typical header look like?
Does it look like:
#include <iostream>
or
#include "iostream"
?
The former tells the compiler that iostream, or iostream.h depending on your compiler, may be found in the INCLUDE directory which is Visual Studio Pro's default. The latter says that iostream is right here in the directory where I keep the source file (unlikely). If you do something like #include iostream or #include [iostream] that's not defined at all so you are not telling the compiler anything.
For more specific information and help we need to know exactly how you include the header. Could you cut and paste the #include line of one of the offending programs?
