Thread: Completly new to C++

visual studio.net is indeed a better ide than any other for windows. When installing it you have the option of C++ and C# (the .net C), C++ creates standard x86 windows executables, you can even write pure C, if you dissassemble a compiled app- you will see it is indeed not .net byte code. The .net ide doesn't add any extra includes, dlls, or polute your source with any other junk, those of you experiencing strange problems such as this, bloat, and slowness must just be producing .net apps (which again, you don't have to).

Also, cl is a better (only in terms of optimization and speed, not compatability at all) compiler than gcc, I was working with an engineer from hp who was working to speed up gcc, and it's not exactly the fastest code I have ever seen.

microsoft 6.0 works fine i like easy simple to use

but to get the code to work on .net

copy and paste whatever was on the tutorial BUT you'll notice it created files above int main( ) leave those files there then below that paste over the int main( ) with what was on the tutorial

so just make sure the .h is with the other .h header files and the int main is below that

then IT SHOULD work i think you just have to leave all the header files that .net auto makes including that .dll file up there and then add whatever else below it

Not that anyone around here cares about my oppinion, but I agree completely.

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "Hello World.";
}

Then run it and see if it runs (Ctrl-F5).

compiles just great BUT when i say execute it saids cannot find the file specified big red stop sign white X all that fun stuff

perhaps i dont know how to link a new C++ file into a current project which well i dont or your idea doesnt work for some unknown reason on visual studio 2003(only the C++ version yea in school they didnt give us the whole thing unless we are taking that class right then and there)


and yes but either way the debate was fun none the less

Visual Studio .NET is great compiler/ide

Visual Studio 6.0 you should be staying from,
because it is old and out dated, and dont comply with
alot of standards.

wanna fight buddy BRING IT ON!!!!

iostream.h and iostream are the same buddy

Your right we dont care.

Microsoft ........ed up when they made msvc++ Dev is MUCH MORE BETTER except for Direct X it wastes all your space and is slow gayt doesn like to let you edit your own damn .rc files and does most of it for you!! LOL MSVC++ IS GAY and noone caes about >.NEYT or microsoft when it comes to msvc, bill gates should take one in the arse for making it

.net c is microsofts puny and unsuccessful attempt to eliminate C DEV ALL THE WAY!

GO BLOODSHED!!

devc++ is ok, but its buggy and has several problems
on a regular basis, especially with stupid errors.

i never recieve such problems win msvc++, and until
you have used msvc++ you shouldnt make any comments,
especially worthless comments that dont help you prove your
point.


and im nto quite sure why you dotn think you can edit
your .rc file in msvc++, just because you cant, doesnt
mean it cant be done.

it may be a inconvience for you when your trying to learn
to do somethign when it does it for you, but then again
i dont consider it a beginner compiler. its for someone
who would occassionally liek there work load reduced,
because ther either real busy, or lazy.

i have gotten no errors with dev except when i dont write the code properly myself or i forgot to link sumthing/include sumthing its fast reliable havent seen any bugds and surly your exmple about the .rc files just because you the code to a safe doesnt mean you cant break into it
