Disappointment
-
So far I find myself a little disappointed by the product. Perhaps when I get use to it I'll begin to like it more. Found a probable bug within 30 minutes of using the IDE. I (basically) created a new Win32 C++ console application, #include'd iostream.h and compiled. Received a warning informing me that the iostream.h header file is depreciated. Double clicked on the task item for this warning and the application hangs. After restarting the IDE I was curious about the iostream.h warning. So I dug around in some of the other header files and discovered that this header will no longer be supported in VC8 and I should use "iostreams". Fair enough, shame the file doesn't exist (yet).

The correct include is
#include <iostream>
but that doesn't make the IDE any better. ;) --Mike-- Just released - RightClick-Encrypt v1.4 - Adds fast & easy file encryption to Explorer My really out-of-date homepage Sonork-100.19012 Acid_Helm

Was there a reason the powers that be decided to drop the .h from these header files ?

'ugly naked women are good, when i'm not around, in front of someone else' - Shog9is the correct header to use, is the old version which is still there for backwards compatibility. I believe this is the C++ standard, not a Microsoft decision. Dave.
