Compile Option under Build

[Deleted_U_Intel]

Sorry, I'm new to this Visual Fortran. Under the Build pull-down, sometimes I have the option to compile. I just started a new project to have a clean slate, but there is no compile option. Of course it can't debug if there is no .exe file. Could someone please offer some help? Thank you.

You only get the option when the source filehas been added to the project; i.e., just opening an existing file isn't sufficient.

Susan,

if you already created a new project adding source files and building release/debug version is simple and goes as follows:

(version for CVF)

1. (a) Select Project/Add to Project/New... (if you want to create a new source file)
2. (a) New files dialog appears where you can select type of the file you want to create and add to your project

or

1. (b) Select Project/Add to Project/Files... (if you want to add file from disk)
2. (b) Insert files to Project dialog appears and you can navigate to your files

(version for IVF 8.0)

1. (a) Select Project/Add New Item... (Template dialog appears where you can select type of file you want to create)
2. (a) select type as sourceand typeits name

or

1. (b). Select Project/AddExisting Item... (dialog box appears allows you to browse to your source files)
2. (b). select and add.

Then you should see your files listed in the project and be able to compile and build solution.
