Thread: Using .NET for console applications

Alright, I've had a version of vs.net on my system for a while, but haven't used it for console applications (mostly because the console stuff I write is for school and the grader uses VS 6). I'm totally fed up with the bs with 6 not being compliant (a whole bunch of bs errors, forward declarations not working, etc). So I started a new win32 console application in .net and added the files I am working on. I go to compile and I get this:

Code:

file_db error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl menu(void)" (?menu@@YAHXZ) referenced in function _main

What is wrong with .net? Anyone had this problem? I tried looking through options, and I haven't seen anything that might fix this stupid pos. (sorry if this has been covered before, I searched to no avail). Damn VS6 and damn my grader.

Omg, was totally look at menu() thinking it was main(). I feel like such a moron. Prototype was wrong. Everything works ok. =)

If you want to create a console app without the wizzard.just select win32 console app and then select empty project under application settings.. this way you only have to add a cpp file.

That's what I was doing, I had just been interpreting the link error wrong. I was expecting some junk about console problems with main function and such (as I have had them before when trying to make a console app in .net), but I just didn't take enough time to let the error register in my head.
