sources from internet
Author
another very noob question from me.
The only programs i can build in visual studio are ones that i make myself, whenever i get a source from the itnernet that says it is all ready just download the code and you can build it, I download, extract to a folder, and when i open the project file, it asks if i want to convert the file or whatever the message is, i click yes and then when the file is open i click build and it always fails, what am i doing wrong,
I am using windows xp pro
Visual studio .net 2003
if you need any other info just tell me
Thanks

Maybe you are either compiling an old project like a VC6 project compiling in a VC7 compiler or the project files are corrupt but usually Ive heard that VC6 projects may not work in VC7 projects, but I might be wrong.

Get the exact text of all dialogs you see and post it here.
Also post the _exact_ text of the error you get when you build.
Also post the URL to this code you''ve downloaded.
Maybe then someone will have enough information to help you out.
