Thread: Help: Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Editon

Hello, this may sound like a very simple question but I cannot get my head around it and I've been searching for ages to try and find a solution.

I'm fairly new to programming in C++, at uni I use emacs on unix, and at home on windows I have been using C-free, but it has ran out. So I have downloaded Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Editon, and I have been trying to write basic code in there, but It comes up with errors pretty much on every line.

Am I using completing the wrong kind of program that will let me write in c++ and compile it?

I have also tried various other programs, and I get stuck on how to compile a program or to even write a program without any errors.

any feedback would be greatly appriciated.

Karla.

p.s I have also downloaded Visual C++ Express Editon 2005 and still not having any luck with getting code to work.

Visual Basic is for programming in Visual Basic, not C++. What specific trouble are you having with VC++?

Well I've just got visual c++ to compile a program but it will pop up in command prompt for a split second and then disappears again, and I have no idea why it is doing that.

Thank You :-)

Karla.
