Trying to get some basic understanding of console functionalities. I am having issues so consider the following...

#include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>

using namespace std;

/*
This is a template Project
*/

void MultiplicationTable(int x);

int main()
{

    int value = 0;

    printf("Please enter any number \n\n");
    getline(cin, value);

    MultiplicationTable(value);


    getchar();


    return 0;
}

I actually based this off code from http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/basic_io/ . My IDE is not recognizing getline() so of course when I compile the application. I get an error

'getline': identifier not found

Now take a look at this code

#include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>

using namespace std;

/*
This is a template Project
*/

void MultiplicationTable(int x);

int main()
{

    int value = 0;

    printf("Please enter any number \n\n");
    cin>>value;

    MultiplicationTable(value);


    getchar();


    return 0;
}

When I execute this line of code the console window opens and immediately closes. I think I a missing something about cin. I do know that it delimits spaces but I don't know what else. what should I use for input to make my life easier.
