Compiler Question

Hi, as you can see by the '2' posts under my name, I'm new to this forum, and C++. I recently have downloaded my first compiler, which is Dev-C++, and I'm wondering if there are any really good ones availible for a windows enviornment.

I would like if they are free, but if you know of any very good ones that are pretty cheap, then I wouldn't mind spending the money.

Dev-C++ is the best IDE you can get for free under Windows in my humble opinion.

One of the features of the forum is a search bar. One of the suggestions in the FAQ/rules is that people use it. The same simple questions are discovered by novices day after day, astonishingly enough.

The three I would recommend are Code::Blocks, Dev-C++ and Visual C++ Express. They're all free. I suggest you try all of them at the very least, as well as any others you may be interested in (such as the one Seif recommends) and settle on the one you like the most.
