face recognition using opencv2.4.3

I'm new to opencv and visual studio and still learning its basics.I'm also doing face recognition project using opencv2.4.3 and visual studio 2010.I have read the tutorial on Face recognition in videos using opencv and implemented the code.the code is as follows with name main.cpp

However when i debug the code it gives a beep sound and then stops,if i build it shows 1 succeded,0 failed.Can you please suggest the reason for this.Also i wanted to know where do we have to write the follwing command (in my case) main.exe C:\opencv243\data\haarcascades\haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml C:\att\att1.txt 0 in visual studio command promt or visual studio command window. Kindly please guide me. Thank you.

However when i debug the code it gives a beep sound and then stops,if i build it shows 1 succeded,0 failed.Can you please suggest the reason for this.Also i wanted to know where do we have to write the follwing command (in my case) main.exe C:\opencv243\data\haarcascades\haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml C:\att\att1.txt 0 in visual studio command promt or visual studio command window. Kindly please guide me. Thank you.
