    Hi, I want to learn DX10 and C++, I know C#, Java etc. So I also know VS2008 EXPRESS as IDE for C#. But is it as good for C++ as well? I'd like to know what you think, which IDE is best for developing with C++ and why? Thx

      as I already said some days ago, real programmers use vi. but it's up to you to use Visual Studio if you feel better with it :) personnaly, I only code C++/MFC, and yes, i code within VS.

        Your kidding right? The editor is VC (Visual C++); an earlier version was Visual C/C++, also call VC. Before that there was the C only environment. The other languages, like C#, where added over time. So the answer is yes.

        I always end up, eventually, using VC for C/C++. It's what I know best. If you are just learning C++ then you should stick to the IDE you are already use to, because in will reduce the learning curve.

          If you want to use of Directx I suggest use of VC++(on the vista is better ).

            Visual C++ Express Edition is a good choice. :)

                Well I haven't used direct x 10 but if its anything like SWING was, then I'd seriously suggest vi (ok, how about gvim) for at least the first rudimentary project. It's not an IDE, you have to use g++ in conjunction w/ it. I've also heard good things about BBEdit by the way, how's c# different / what's it good at?

                  Ok and why do you think I should use vi, gvim, or BBEdit? What are the special features? Do they provide code completion or sth. like the Intelli-Sense in VS? C# and other languages[^]
