Thread: VC question...

Alittle unrelated but still...

I'm using Borland C++ 5.5 for my API developments, but now I wish to move to MFC, can I continue to use borland or will I need to start using VC++?

Also, what is the first version of Visual Studio that supports C# ?



Thank you.

Hi,

For C# development, the .NET SDK and runtime can be freely downloaded.

And you can also download a free IDE for C# development, SharpDevelop.

Hi,

For .NET development in C# and other .NET languages, you can download the .NET SDK and runtime from here.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframewo....1%20Downloads

However, these are distributed as command line tools only.
So, you might want to get a free IDE, for example, SharpDevelop from here
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/

VS6 is for non .NET development. If you want to do .NET development, you should buy Visual Studio .NET 2003 which is the current release or wait for the 2005 version to be released later this year.

If I understand right, the MFC and OWL are two different type of libraries?!

And another thing, what does it mean when people say you need a .NET platform in order to run .NET applications? What kind of platforms?


Thanks again.

Basically, it means that the user would need to download the .NET runtimes from Microsoft if they haven't already.

Well... I have access at work to VS .NET 2003, but I'm not sure how to use it...

I want to move completly to VS .NET 2003 for all my C/C++ programming, with or without API/MFC and in the future with C#... Can the VS .NET be used for non .NET projects as well?

Is there any begginers guide to VS, since i've never really used it.
(got messed up while trying to compile "hello world" in C++ )


Thank you.
