I have Visual C++ .NET and C#.NET, but, I wanted to help out the C++ linux groups creating Windows Games, and mostly internet applications. Where can I can download the right tool or notepad and compiler that everyone usally uses in places like SourceForge ? is Visual C++ .NET identical to C++ standard?

Visual C++ is a compiler for the C++ language. As long as the code in question does not require third-party libraries or non-standard extensions, it will compile under any operating system. The C++ standard is there to ensure that code can be used on the different C++ compilers.

You should watch out for managed extensions etc. when compiling. I believe there is a compiler switch setting that will allow only ANSI compliant code.

Quote: and mostly internet applications. Then you need to learn some platform-specific library. If you know enough C++, and if you want to do Windows programming and since you have VC++ .NET, I suggest "Visual C++ .NET How To Program" by Deitel. http://vig.prenhall.com/catalog/academic/product/0,1144,0134373774,00.html It is very good, it covers even multithreading. However if you can wait, I suggest you wait for VC++ 2005 and the new C++/CLI standard. That said, the transition path of VC++ 2002/2003 to VC++ 2005 is relatively small, that is the API remains the same, only the system keywords change.

VC++ is highly C++ standard compliant if this is what you mean. -- Ioannis Vranos http://www23.brinkster.com/noicys Back to top Tom Widmer Guest Posted: Mon Dec 20, 2004 12:39 pm    Post subject: Re: what is the C++ Standard and compiler for Windows XP Use pachanga wrote: Quote: I have Visual C++ .NET and C#.NET, but, I wanted to help out the C++ linux groups creating Windows Games, and mostly internet applications.

VC++ 2003 is close to the C++ standard. An alternative is GCC (gcc.gnu.org), which is even closer to the standard for language support, but slightly less close for library support. For Windows GCC, you need MinGW ([url]www.mingw.org)[/url].
