    1. Make sure, that the CPP file is inside the SourceFiles in your project. If it is not, it will not be built.

    2. Check the properties of project (especially the General tab) for the output directory for project files.

    3. Build your project. Visual Studio informs in Output window, where is the binary, eg.

        1>------ Build started: Project: NativeConsoleSketchbook, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
    1>Build started 2012-12-06 09:39:35.
    1>InitializeBuildStatus:
    1>  Creating "Debug\NativeConsoleSketchbook.unsuccessfulbuild" because "AlwaysCreate" was specified.
    1>ClCompile:
    1>  main.cpp
    1>Link:
    1>  NativeConsoleSketchbook.vcxproj -> D:\Dokumenty\Dev\VS\Sketchbook\Debug\NativeConsoleSketchbook.exe
    1>FinalizeBuildStatus:
    1>  Deleting file "Debug\NativeConsoleSketchbook.unsuccessfulbuild".
    1>  Touching "Debug\NativeConsoleSketchbook.lastbuildstate".
