I was wondering what would the best free IDE for C++ programming would be? I'm thinking Dev C++, but can I still do directX programming on it? any downfalls to this program? Any other recommendations? Thanks!

Yeah, it's tough to get it to work the way you want. My recent attempts were frustrating, and I abandoned it.any downfalls to this program?
Emacs with a makefile
There are 10 types of people in this world, those who cringed when reading the beginning of this sentence and those who salivated to how superior they are for understanding something as simple as binary.
I'm fond of xcode, nice coding GUI, comes free on mac osX along with gcc, gdb, gmake, ddd, etc. Though I think you'd have little trouble with the directX libraries ;-}
Only using Dev C++ for a few days now, for a Windows project. Not as powerful as M'soft Vcc (think they call it .NET developer or something like now), but Dev C++ is way less annoying. Not sure why 7stud abandoned it, seems pretty capable and sturdy.
Crimson Editor and a makefile for me. I must admit I've never gotten use to an IDE. But if I had a choice, the Visual Studio IDE is my favorite.Originally Posted by Rashakil Fol
You could try Visual C++ 2005 .NET.
Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.
Download it while it lasts.
sacrilege!
VIM forever.
The Ultimate IDE:
LINUX
i use quincy 2005 cos its simple and it gets the job done. I like freesing f9 to compile. It's better than command lining.
Really great for DirectX programming...The Ultimate IDE:
LINUX

When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.
Code::Blocks with Microsofts 2005 compiler
So can these compilers compile and create executables from multiple source code files (all from the same project.)? I think I'll try some free microsoft Visual C++ compiler. Sorry, but I'm kind of new to this programming thing.
I downloaded Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003. From the looks of it, it's a command prompt compiler. Any good tutorials for this? Thanks!
why not just get the free Visual C++ 2005 IDE?
The compiler is one of the best out there and I've yet to see anything come close to the debugger.

Free Compiler: Visual C++ 2005 Express
If you program in C++, you need Boost. You should also know how to use the Standard Library (STL). Want to make games? After reading this, I don't like WxWidgets anymore.Want to add some scripting to your App?
Check out Eclipse. It is cross-platform, OSS and has plugins for loads of different languages. It seems pretty good.
