Use the following files:
vec_samples.sln
vec_samples.vcproj
driver.f90
matvec.f90
Start Visual Studio and open the solution file matrix_vector_multiplication_f.sln
Change the Active solution configuration to Release using Build > Configuration Manager.
Clean the solution by selecting Build > Clean Solution.
