Really needs someones help with issue in VC 2005

[pghsteelers]

I don't know what is going on or what I possibly could have done, but some of the most common actions are not available to me though they should be, and I was hoping someone might be able to tell me what I am doing wrong:

After creating a Win32 Console application, adding a class, I switch to the "class view" tab in the explorer. I should (at least that is what my book tells me) able to right click on the class I just added and select "Add Member Variable" to add a member variable to the class I just created. However, all I get is "go to definition, go to declaration, sort.., properties, copy..ect, but nothing about adding a member variable or function.

I then attempted to check on the tool bar menus and found nothing. What am I doing wrong, I used to use VC6 so I am familar with what I am trying to accomplish.

Please help!

I used VC 6 too, and I just took a look around in VC 2005 express, but I was unable to find those features either.
I guess I never noticed before because I never do that -- I just write the functions myself. I found it usually takes longer to navigate through the dialogs to create a function than it does to just open the .h & .cpp files and type it myself.

Well at least it isn't just me.

But seriously, there has to be something that isn't intialized or something that needs to be changed because the Help in 2005 and my book say the same thing on how to add a member function.

Anyone know why?

Maybe that's why it's free. :-D
