what kind of template should i use? I'm using CLR Windows Form Application. I doubt that should be the one to use. Which one is better?

Oh i'm using VC++ Microsoft.
thanks.

...Dont use C++.NET... Ever... Stick with Win32 and before you start API learn basic C++ [Here]. Once you can make medium applications on your own, go to Win32. This is what got me started. After that you, you incorporate new APIs (Use MSDN) as your move through projects.

EDIT: noz3001 is right... What does this have to do with inline assembly?

Inline ASM?

I believe CLR is for writing managed code...

If you want to write unmanaged native code create a Win32 project. If you want to make a console app select Win32 Console Application, for a DLL, or Win32 GUI select Win32 Project...

And I always just select blank project, and create the main file myself, as I think the pre-compiled header + the default projects contain unnecessary things that just bloat your code...

There is a way to create forms and controls with a resource editor, but I don't like doing it that way and just use CreateWindowEx to create every window/control Wink

anyway what does this have to do with inline asm? lol

inline asm in MSVC++ is very nicely done... Dev C++ on the other hand, I don't like, by default it uses att&t syntax(which i hate) and you have to use quotes "" and its just a mess!!

But since your using VC++ you don't have to worry about that...

Some things that I should point out though about using it...

Ok you know like in auto assembler (with CE)

say Value is a 4 byte allocated value.

if you write it like this

soo... you're saying... don't use vc++? but i like it D:

When did I say that?

I never said don't use it! In fact that's what I use! I use MSVC++ 2008 express edition.

I also use dev c++ but only when I'm away from my computer. I have the portable version on a flash drive.

But I like VC++ alot more! especially since the inline asm syntax.

So DO use it, I recommend it.

What I wouldn't recommend is an old version like VC++ 6.0, its too old skool. 2008 is probably the best to use.

However there seems to be a problem with it. Can anyone else confirm that its not just my computer and it happens to everyone?

Sometimes when trying to create a new project, the first window that pops up, I select Win32 Project for example, name it, then press okay. Sometimes the next window doesn't popup and it says project creation failed in the status window of the IDE. Then other times the next window comes up, but kind of freezes, and stays blank white, until you hit x. The whole IDE doesn't freeze just the window. I close it and try again. And some other times I even get farther than that, and the window pops up and I hit next, which takes it to the next screen where you select between, "Windows Application", "Console Application", "DLL", "Static Library" and the checkbox for "Empty Project"

at any point in between getting to that window or clicking finish, it could say project creation failed in the status window again!!

Its really annoying and sometimes I have to make several attempts when creating new projects...

So has anyone else encountered the same? or am I special?

I've never had that problem

Me neither, though a quick google shows some possible solutions:-

I remember something similar happened to me too...
Try starting MVC++ through the command prompt:
VCExpress /resetskippkgs
