Question about VS 6.0 vs. VS .NET

I'm working on a simple program for a C++ programming class. He's teaching C++ in Visual Studio 6.0 but I'm using Visual Studio .NET to write my program. Here is what I have so far:

Code:

---

/*       
        Program Name:        Pgm 12 - Pg 74.cpp
        Date:                12-19-2003
*/

#include <iostream.h>

int main(void)

{
        double firstNum = 105.62;
        double secNum  =  89.352;
        double thirdNum =  98.67;

        //Display screen setup
        cout << "First Number:  " << firstNum << endl
            << "Second Number: " << secNum  << endl
            << "Third Number:  " << thirdNum << endl;

        return 0;

} // end main

---

I get an error that says:

What exactly is the difference in the header section for VS 6 vs. .NET?

Your problem is that you have precompiled headers turned on. right click the project in solution explorer and select properties. Find precompiled headers and turn them off them do a rebuild. all should be fine although i would consider ditching iostream.h in favour of iostream and using std::cout.

Thanks for the help. I think I have everyting working correctly now.

As far as the other goes though, I was just used to including all of iostream.h and I keep forgetting about being able to add just what I need. I should really find a way of getting in the habit of that.

this is how i think it should look.....

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

using std::cout;
using std::endl;

int main(void)

{
        double firstNum = 105.62;
        double secNum  =  89.352;
        double thirdNum =  98.67;

        //Display screen setup
        cout << "First Number:  " << firstNum << endl
            << "Second Number: " << secNum  << endl
            << "Third Number:  " << thirdNum << endl;

        return 0;

} // end main
