I believe (IOW: I may be wrong) Visual C++ 2005 Express is just as powerful as VC6 Pro.

Jimbo · May 20th, 2006, 5:27 PM

The "express" just means you lose a few of the newer features in exchange for a free IDE. I don't know what features you'd miss, but I doubt it'd be anything critical. I don't know what you mean by VC6 text, unless you mean the syntax highlighting, in which case, I prefer the newer IDEs myself (and just about any IDE will have that). I've always used the VC IDE, so I don't know how Dev-C++ is.

not the syntax highlighting. sorry for not being specific! All in all i meant the font! something drives me crazy about teh vc++ 6.0 font!

So where can i pick this Visual C++ 2005 Express up at?

Kilo · May 20th, 2006, 5:35 PM

im downloading it!

Kilo · May 20th, 2006, 6:06 PM

ok its download and i started a new project "Class Library"

Where is my DLLMain entry point???

WHY DOES THIS LOOK.NET!!!!?!?!?!?

(Toggle Plain Text)

// SED.h

#pragma once

using namespace System;

namespace SED {

	public ref class Class1
	{
		// TODO: Add your methods for this class here.
	};
}

NAMESPACES? REF DECLARATIONS? PLEASE TELL ME! (sorrys caps) that this is regular c++ i don't want all of that .net BS added! i want old school!

Namespaces are part of C++. The System namespace, however, is from .NET. There's probably some options when you create a project that will differenciate between using .NET and not using it. I don't remember exactly, as I've not done any programming in Windows for a while...

grrr i have made one over and over no settings

im going to cry!

Kilo · May 20th, 2006, 6:55 PM

can i erase the "public ref class Engine" and use "class Engine"?

Jimbo · May 20th, 2006, 7:00 PM

Ok, lets try this. I have the full version (thanks to my school), but things should be pretty similar. Instead of making a Class Library, make a Win32 Project. That will bring up a menu. On the left is Application Settings. Click that and it'll let you select between Windows App, Console App, DLL, and Static lib. You should be fine from there.

OH HE** YEA! your the main.. i feel so pathetic i should have done that!
