Where can we get a complete list of VC++ data types?

[mshetty]

Hi,

We need a list of all VC++ Data Types. Searched through MSDN but could
not find a single list. Since we are new to VCC+ we really don't know
if what we are getting is sufficient or there is more.

Would help if we could get some reference link.

Thanks and Regards,
M Shetty

Are you referring to only the data types native to the C++ specification, or
are you asking about things like data types defined in the Windows API, MFC,
C++/CLI, etc?
Jochen's links are on target for the native types, but depending on project
types you intend to use there are many more...

Thanks a lot for the response.

We have some existing code(Web Services) that uses types like BSTR.
What category would this fall into?

Just put the cursor over BSTR and press F1 to bring up MSDN. The MSDN
index is probably the best source if you want a complete list of all
types used by Microsoft APIs and libraries.
