Cannot Open Metadata file iostream in C++

Question

I just downloaded Visual Studio 2012 and when I started my preprocessor directive

 #using <iostream>

I get an error message saying "Error: cannot open metadata file "iostream". Anyone know what might be causing this issue? Thanks so much!

Answer 1

For C++, you want #include <iostream> instead of #using <iostream>. #Using is a c# thing for the most part.

Answer 2

You typed iosteam instead of iostream
