in c# some programs get automaticly compile protection that makes it so everytime u try to compile youll get a error

well im using a book as a guide so i dont see why i should have this problem like your stating.this book is in a step by step process so im doing it as the book states.i use my own code i type out and that didnt work so then i used the same code from the disk that i was able to use.and that still dosnt work.i get an error that says "unable to run program file".so.....now what?

What book are you using, cause I know that in the C++ for dummies book the int main() is screwed up, and you should just type int main() and not int main(blah blah blah)

who's joking...
*edit*
ok so now iv figured out how to add actual files instead of adding just source code files and everything i have so far is header files, source code files then i have the source code itself in that file and i have resource files. iv done everything i can to get it to work correctly, what am i missing? does it need to be a certain file extension to compile or something im realy stuck here :\ .
this is the program im trying to compile and run:

#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd)
{
MessageBox(NULL, "All your base are belong to use!",
"Hello World", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
}

*edit*
ok well no one is answering this and i know theres really smart ppl that can help me out on this so plz do.how about instead i ask: what belongs in the resourses and in the heading folders?
