Off topic question,

How do I edit a certain type of application with visual studio? I open the folder for my code and I understand how I network it all but when I am trying to reverse engineer an application it will not let me break the application? This is for windows only. Can anybody give me a link to a tutorial or help me out? Thanks

I don't think VS supports reverse engineering out of the box. You will either need a plugin, or a separate tool to do the job, if the application in this context has already been compiled to its binaries. Why would you need to do this though? If the application is open-sourced, you should be able to obtain the source code easily instead of having to decompile stuff yourself. If it isn't, then you probably shouldn't... ?

Yes exactly it’s just a menu for computers, so would I need a sort of plugin that can run it through binary or maybe different languages? I am just trying to understand what language it is under. VS is not helping me with that, but of course .xml and later C++ does work easily.
