Counting vowels from a text file

Kaylaplusplus (3)
I think my counting is fine and solid, but I'm still new to importing text from files. If someone could point out and explain what needs to be change that would be great. If you fix my program and paste it pleaseeeeee explain so I know what to do next time. Thanks in advance! XD

The name of the language is C++ and yet you still write C += 1 !?

What in the world is going on at the end of line 30?

Do you see a problem with converting all the characters to uppercase before looking them up in the switch?

You didn't ask a specific question so I have no idea what you are having trouble with.
