Building and running the sample programs

This section describes how to use Visual Studio to build and run ImportExport, one of the tutorial programs. Tutorial programs are available only for Windows.

For Windows, the procedure is essentially the same for any of the sample programs.

Visual Studio

To build and run ImportExport using Visual Studio:

Start Visual Studio.
Click File > Open > Project/Solution.
Navigate to the folder that contains the version of ImportExport for your version of Visual Studio, e.g.
```
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\FBX\FbxSdk\2011.2\examples\UI Examples\ImportExport\
```
Open the project file for your version of Visual Studio. For Visual Studio 2005, the file is named ImportExport_net2005.vcproj. Visual Studio will create a new solution, and open the project inside that solution.
To build the file, click Build > Build Solution. Unless you modify the project, Visual Studio builds a debug version of the application (named ImportExport.exe), stored in the project’s Debug\ directory.
To run ImportExport within Visual Studio, choose Start Debugging from the Debug menu. The dialog box for ImportExport will open. You can use it to select files for conversion to various file formats.
