SimpleRobot Windriver issues...

So I just started to mess around with WindRiver on an old robot outfitted with a cRio and the who 2009 electronics equipment, when I ran into a couple of issues... here are some of the questions which arose:

1) Whenever I changed the "SimpleRobot" code, I right clicked on the program name in the explorer windom, and clicked "build"... then I clicked on First-->download... is this the correct way to upload code to the cRio or is there a better/proper way, or what?

2) Because of (possibly) some weird wiring issues, it took me some time to finally get the robot to respond to the joystick, as it should in "SimpleRobot"... but, as it turned out... the x and y axis were backwards... I have looked everywhere and tried a lot of things in the code to fix this issue, but came to no change... can someone please tell me exactly how to change the x and y axis control when it comes to the "SimpleRobot" program in WindRiver?

I am sure more questions will arise from me soon enough, as I am completely new to WindRiver, which makes me absolutely oblivious, besides what I can actually piece together from my knowledge of other C++ libraries... But yea, if someone could help me out that would be great, and would be appreciated tremendously...
