Hi there, Is it posible, using vs2008 express, to copile a c++ application (not managed c++). I don't want a .NET application. Can that be done? How? Thanks!

I think you might have misunderstood my. I know how to write c++ code. I also know how to write code in VS2008. What i am looking for is a way to write code in VS2008 express and compile it using the regular c++ compiler, and not using the managed c++ compiler that comes with the VS2008 express IDE. Or am i missing something here?

Hi, The C++ compiler in VS2008 Express (and other editions) is not a managed compiler. It is regular C++ compiler. For managed C++ there is a C++/CLI. So when you set your project type to Visual C++, this means that you will use unmanaged C++ compiler. I hope this helps. :)
