NEWBIE

[Chris Herrington]

I am new to VC++ and want to write and unmanaged application using 2005
visual studio. I do not want to use the dot net environment and was told
that I can write unmanaged application using 2005. Can anyone help me by
telling my what kind of project I need to create to make this possible?

Thanks in adance

You want to use "/clrldSyntax".

Go to your project's Properties (right click on it in Solution Explorer).
Look for the "Common Language Runtime Support" option under "Configuration
Properties : General - Project Defaults" (it should actually be what comes
up when you first open Properties). Make sure this is set to 'clr/oldSyntax'
(click on this line, select from drop down option list).

Then, do NOT use and '__value' or '__ref', or any other gc syntax, and that
should do it! : )

Peter:

OP wants unmanaged application. He doesn't want clr at all.

Chris:

It depends what kind of application you want. I don't have VS2005 yet,
but in VS2003 you want one of

Win32 Console Project (non GUI)
Win32 Project (GUI without MFC)
MFC Application (GUI with MFC)

I would suggest starting with a Win32 console project.

Just create an MFC, ATL or Win32 project using the wizard. If you have the
Express version, you won't have MFC and ATL, but you can still create Win32
apps (I think).

 

[Nishant Sivakumar]

Huh? Are you saying that the Express edition cannot compile a non-CLR app?

This will allow my code to be unmanaged? I come from a C# and VB6
background so forgive me if I do not know the questions to ask. Is there a
way to have my application to not compile to IL and allow me to compile the
application in native code similar to VB/VC6?

Thanks again

In order to have a true native app, choose "Win32" project. Check in
the project settings that "Using Managed extensions" is set to No

No, he misunderstood the question slightly.

The C++ compiler from the Express Edition can produce 3 kinds of
programs:

Native 32 bit Windows programs, using ISO C++.
..NET 2.0 programs, using ECMA C++/CLI
..NET 2.0 programs, using Managed Extensions á la VS2003.


That's three distinct, but similar, languages in one package.


"Unmanaged" is just marketing speak, to use when "native" sounds too
good.

Will I still have a visual ide designer? or do I have to design it all in
code?

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

Will I still have a visual ide designer? or do I have to design it
all in code?

You also will have a Visual IDE designer just like programming in C#, but
for a Win32 Console project, there is any Form Designer with it.


Thank!
