Using Codeblocks with VS.NET 2003 (Not the Toolkit)

(1/3) > >>

neomic:
Hi,

is there a way to use Codeblocks with Visual Studio .NET 2003 (VC7)?
Because the Toolkit does not have a Ressourcecompiler and the other Libraries...

Thx in advance, neomic :)

That's why you also need to get Microsoft's Platform SDK. (Yes, I have posted the correct link -- this is what you need to develop programs for any version of Windows prior to Vista.)

But better yet, just download an express version of VS2005 -- then you have a better compiler, and you can use the VS IDE or C::B.

neomic:
the 2005 express version has a vc8 compiler and no atlmfc (i'm quite sure that this is not in the psdk)

so am i able to use a vc8 compiler and the atlmfc from vs.net 2003 with a project that is build on the vc7?

TDragon:
You can use the 2003 Toolkit, or you can use 2005 Express -- either way, you'll still need to download the PSDK to make Windows apps. (For 2005 Express you can use a slightly newer version of the PSDK.)

And no, there's really no way you could (or should) mix VS7 and VS8 in a single project.

EDIT:
I just realized I completely misinterpreted your original question. Yes, Code::Blocks works fine with any of the standard editions of Visual Studio .NET 2003. (Though you have to tweak the settings on wizard-generated projects.)

neomic:
do i have to overwrite the visual toolkit's settings in compiler and debugger dialog then?

suggestion: why don't they simply call it visual c++ 7/8 compiler?

edit: if i use the toolkit and psdk, where will i get ressource and make tools?
