On the top there should be a 'build' drop down menu. There will be options to compile, build and then execute the program.

I'm really not familiar with VS-2005, I use 2008. Try right-clicking your project to see if there are "build", "debug", and/or "run" options on the context menu.

You might have to enable Expert settings. Go to Tools --> Settings, then check Expert settings. This has got to be one of the dumbest things Microsoft has ever done in their compilers.
