Source file header file and other files are not displayed when I create empty C++ Project in visual studio 2019

Question

I am very new to visual studio and I watched a couple of tutorials to understand how to use it, But I ran into a problem. Every person I watched on YT has a source file, header file, and other files when creating an empty Project but this isn't a case for me and I basically can't write anything. when I try to add a CPP file it doesn't even show an option to add it, it only shows class and resource when I right click and press on add. Basically, I want the files to show so I can create my main program and play around with it.

Help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

• First Create an empty project .
• Second Go to solution explorer.
• Third Right click the source file option.
• Fourth Go to add and create a new item
• Fifth Select .cpp file and press add.

And Congrats your .cpp file is created. Do the same procedure to create header file and class.
