Does not work

If I try to continue with project type visual stdio solutions
I cannot compile the program.

If I try to change it to visual C++ project I get errors and
here is a descreption of the problems:

I get compilation error even before I add files to the project and files are
added automatically.

After choosing file->new0>blank solution and choosing movei as
console application I still get files that I do not need.

When I open movei.cpp(I do not need that file) and try to compile
I get error(for the error see the end of this post).

Here is the program that is written in a language that I do not understand

// This is the main project file for VC++ application project
// generated using an Application Wizard.

#include "stdafx.h"

#using <mscorlib.dll>

using namespace System;

int _tmain()
{
    // TODO: Please replace the sample code below with your own.
    Console::WriteLine(S"Hello World");
	return 0;
}

I do not know:
1)the meaning of stdafx.h
2)the meaning of #using
3)the meaining of <mscorlib.dll>
4)the meaning of namespace System;

I also never saw Console::WriteLine(S"Hello World");
I usually use printf.

The error that I get:
c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio
Projects\movei\movei.cpp(4): fatal error C1083: Cannot open precompiled header
file: 'Debug/movei.pch': No such file or directory
