Write &/or complile C/C++ in VB/NET

[Basil Fawlty]

Hi everyone, I have VB.NET 2003 SE, I understand that I can write and
compile C and C++ code in this tool. Is that right? If so, how would I go
about doing something like that? It won't be anything fancy what-so-ever.
Thanks, Basil

Basil,

When you want to use C or C++ to create programs you have to use other tools
than VB.NET 2003.

Maybe you can find a good answer for that in a more properiate newsgroup for
that by instance for C++

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vc

I hope this helps anyway

Thanks, turns out I was being told this by someone who has Studio with all
the goodies, they didn't realize it was a C program they were telling me to
go to that I didn't have in my Studio. I have since grabbed a free C/C++
compiler and have compiled successfully several small simple C programs now.
Sorry to bother, but I though I was going crazy trying to find a C compiler
in VB, which never made any sense to begin with, but I just had to ask.
Thanks again.

That's right for the Visual /Studio/ .NET 2003 Special Edition.

C ?

#define C ( -- C++ )

Phill,

Thanks, I was looking at the namespaces and than I saw something that I
thought, that one about C was probably not one of my best messages.
