Thank you for no one jumping in with "Dev-C++" a great program like 10 years ago... Codeblocks isn't half-bad from what I hear. Though I have never tried it before either.
Dev-C++
Woop?
prog-bman, I just said---hey wait a minute.... I think someone is having fun at my expense
It has been known to happen from time to time.
On a side note. I would also recommend Visual C++ Express.
Woop?
I used to use Dev-C++, back when VS express wasnt around. Code::Blocks isnt half bad either. Theres also the new Turbo C++ from Borland (not the old DOS one). What I need at this point is an IDE that supports 64 bit assembly with projects to compile LIB files.
Well he did say "Visual C++", so I gave him the link to "Visual C++"

If you are a beginner in using IDE's then I recommend Code::Blocks with MinGW.
Visual Studio is a great IDE, but too giant for a beginner. And it's Microsoft specific.
I never had problems to compile something in Code::Blocks. Also it is very good customizable and works with several compilers. And it is even runs from your USB-Stick. I never wanna miss this Tool.

But it's still easy to use and that is all that matters.Originally Posted by Greenhorn__
And having IDE + compiler + debugger all in one package can't be beaten by anything else.
All in all, VS is the best and most complete IDE out there (IMHO). No wonder companies use it over alternatives...
That is irrelevant. It is done by Microsoft, yes, but it isn't limited to Microsoft. It is an IDE and compiler like any other. It conforms to the standard.And it's Microsoft specific.
I never had any problems compiling from Visual Studio.I never had problems to compile something in Code::Blocks. Also it is very good customizable and works with several compilers.
And the customization in Visual Studio always worked for me.
And I never had to look elsewhere for a debugger. Imagine that.
