Ok, I've decided to reinstall VC++.NET because I just broke it somehow (Not sure how I did, but I did) I do have one question, I have taken a look at VC++.NET Express, and it does appear to be easier to work with, would it compile a program EXACTLY the same as the full C++.NET? I've tried with some code but it spat out something about ansi c++ not supporting an operator overload... but If I wipe everything .NET from my system, would a fresh copy of VC++.NET Express (w/.Net 2.0) work with the same code that 'should' work with VC++.NET Studio (w/.Net 1.1) ? ------------------ |

Possibly, if you matched all the compiler settings (including warning settings). Even if it didn't, it should be a minor task to tweak your code accordingly. Don't forget that you could simply install both... ------------------ |

The Express Edition will not allow you to use MFC or ATL. If you are using those in your project, you will not be able to compile. VC++ Express lets you use Win32, but you need to follow some special steps located here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/default.aspx By default, C++ Express does not have a DLL Project Wizard. The steps listed in the link explain what to do to get the DLL Wizard back. It's fairly simple. I completely removed VS.NET off my computer and now use VC# Express. The editor and features are so MUCH better. I had VC++ Express for a few days but removed it. I am extremely low on disk space and lacking the ability to use MFC makes it less appealing for me. Plus, I do plenty of MFC stuff at work. I am trying to spend my time at home learning new things.

Yeah, I agree that the Express editions are just better feature wise, but its a shame they aren't as capable... I don't think Im using any MFC stuff but Ill install both any way I still have several free gigs... ------------------ |
