Thanks for attention.  
I succeed building the example [ReadBmp](https://kitware.github.io/vtk-examples/site/Cxx/IO/ReadBMP/) and running it in cmd.  
Then I try to run the code in visual studio. But once I modify the code:

> reader-\>SetFileName(argv[1]);

to

> reader-\>SetFileName(“mypicture.bmp”);

and delete the lines about argc and argv, the error occured
