fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'iostream.h': No such file or

We are trying to use MS Visual Studio .NET to compile and link example
programs from a C++ book, in console mode, i.e. not MFC . Error message

i s:

c4.cpp(5) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'iostream.h':
No such file or directory


The projects and solutions are in
C:\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects


What is problem? solution?


Should we use 'console' application? or Win32? or?


Thanks


e.g. of program :


// ctut3.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//


#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
cout << "Hello World!";
cout << "I'm a C++ program";


return 0;

Apearantly you are including "iostream.h" a file which doesn't exist... use
<iostream> instead

Console application, a Win32 application has a WinMain() instead of
main()...

Strange you are including the right file here, does it give you any error

I noticed that you included the source of c3.cpp while the error is in
ctut3.cpp, any logical reason?

Hope that helped,

Right, there is no header called "iostream.h", though there is one
called "iostream".

Console application for console programs.

There's a missing brace here:
}

Since your program doesn't include <iostream.h>, I don't really see how
you got the error.

iostream.h has been removed from the include directory (I think this has
happened with VS2002).
Use the standard header intead:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
