Compiling with Visual Studio 2012

I don't really know how it works. But I can't figure how to compile C++ DOS-like (Console) applications which normal compilers do (like DEV-CPP). I don't do projects, just normal C++ applications. Could someone teach me how to compile C++ source file and compiled as a DOS-like application? Thanks. I'm still new to this program. | |

do you want to create an executable from your source code? or just run the source code via visual studio | |

| Maybe press F7? Or go to Build->Build solution. | |

in the project configurations select "Release" build the project (f7 or ctrl+alt+f7) don't know if you have additional dependencies, but some libraries have different lib files for release and debug, you have to include the right ones. | |
