Hi, rooters:

   I want to use Windows ROOT with Visual Studio    Now I have installed Windows ROOT and Visual Studio 2008 on Windows XP.    In windows I set the environment variables as below:

     INCLUDE : C:\root\include; D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\ce\include 
     LIB     : C:\root\lib
     PATH    : C:\root\bin
     ROOTSYS : C:\root
   And in Visual Studio 2008, I give these configurations:
     Project Property Pages:
       C/C++  ->Genernal ->Additional Include Directories : $(ROOTSYS)/include
       Linker ->Input    ->Additional Dependencies        : $(ROOTSYS)/lib/*.lib 
   Ant then I write a ROOTProject.cpp file:


       #include "stdafx.h"

       #include <iostream>

       #include "TFile.h"

       using namespace std;

       int main(int argc, char* argv[])
       {
	 TFile* fi = new TFile("output.root", "recreate");
         fi->Close;
         delete fi;
	 cout<< "Hello ROOT!"<< endl;
	 return 0;
       }

  But it appears as below:

1>Compiling...
1>ROOTProject.cpp
1>c:\root\include\tstring.h(455) : warning C4996: 'sprintf': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using sprintf_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See online help for details.

  I do not know why there are so many warnings. But after my runnring the ROOTProject.exe, I indeed get a output.root file.   I am not very familiar with VS2008, so is there a step-by-step user guide about using ROOT with VS2008   I don't want to use CINT or ACLiC. I just want to use VS2008 to compile the codes with "#include "Txxx.h"" and generate a .exe file to finish my work. Is thers any tutorials about it?   Thank you!
