Do I have to use "Visual" C++ in VS 2008? -

i new visual studio 2008 (.net framework 3.5) , developing windows form application.

starting ide, options new project under categories:

visual basic visual c# visual c++

i did visual c++ -> clr -> windows forms application

however, template code in "visual c++" syntx.

how create new gui project plain vanilla c/c++ using visual studio 2008?

please note, lastly time did mfc in visual studio c++ 6.0 if missing underlying principal please explain.

thank you!

long story short - cannot.

windows forms .net framework , not c++ framework. in turn means cannot utilize c++ work it. microsoft did invented own language c++-ish, compiles cli bytecode (likely native code mix-in, not sure). before "managed c++", c++/cli (what have linked illustration not c++, c++/cli).

for plain c++ projects have take "win32 project", "win32 console application" or "empty project".. cannot work windows forms. options utilize other gui libraries gtk, qt, wxwidgets. there tons of gui frameworks. or perhaps prefer sticking win32 api. personal selection qt. , no visual studio @ all.

hope clarifies things bit you. luck!
