HI I am completely new to visualc++ and visual studio. I am suppossed to link an existing project to open in IE. How can i do that?
Is there any good book or link i can use to learn?

I'm a bit confused... This is the only way your question makes sense:

Your goal is to have a C++ program which creates HTML output. The C++ program will run on the server, and people will navigate to it with a browser such as IE and view the HTML output as a webpage.

Do I understand your project?

HI Miros,
thanks for your reply.
I have a project which prints information on the command prompt. What i want to do is print it in an IE.
I now know how to create an IE using MFC. But what i don't know is how to tell the existing .cpp file to display in IE window?
did i make myself clear any better.

a) Add some HTML tags to the output to make a valid HTML page. If you don't know much HTML, I recommend

b) For testing purposes on your machine, you can save your output to a file and open that in an IE window.
c) Since you've got it opening an IE window, you should be able to use the class pointer created by opening the window to set the window contents. Read through the documentation for the class, and you should find something.
