I am a beginner programmer in C++. I just created a product configurator in C++ now i want to develop a GUI for that in Visual studio 2005. I have never worked in Visual studio before. can someone give some hints that how to start, links for some basic lessons would be a great help.
Visual Studio supporting many language for GUI creation like C#, MFC(C++), Visual F#.
As you said C++ you can go with MFC projects.
You can select/create projects by going into file->new projects->Visual C++->Mfc Application
And for every language you need some guidance.
please follow the below link for more detail.

sorry if the question is basic or does not have an answer but i have began my coding journey and due to classes i need to program basic code in "Visual Basic".
I have a Windows PC where i can code fine in Visual Studio 2022, but i have a MacBook Air as my laptop, i would like to code visual basic on it as well just small codes for my exams and class, i downloaded Visual Studio for Mac and it only allowed me to code in "C#" then i tried VS Code and selected VB on it, Python (With its extension) worked fine on VS Code, i can enter and run my code in the terminal but vb would always be a house of errors.
My question is, what is the appropriate way to program in visual basic on a mac (Latest macOS) (M1 Chip) and how can i get visual basic to work in VS Code?
Really appreciate anyone's time spent on answering this, have a good one!
Spent alot of hours downloading extensions that would help me run VB Code on VS Code, tried to get Visual Basic on Visual Studio for mac and that didnt help either.
The only thing that works right now is visual basic on visual studio 2022 on my windows pc. i want to code in vb on my mac. Python on vs code etc works fine not vb.
Visual Basic is not officially supported on Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for Mac. However, there are some third-party extensions that you can use to add support for Visual Basic on VS Code.
One such extension is "VBNET for Visual Studio Code" which can be found in the VS Code extension marketplace. This extension is a community-supported extension and may not be as stable as the official extensions.
Alternatively, you can use a Windows virtual machine on your Mac to run Visual Studio 2022 and use it to write and run Visual Basic code. This would allow you to use Visual Studio 2022 on your Mac, and you can work with Visual Basic code on your Mac.
It's worth noting that Visual Basic is not a popular language as it was in the past, many developers are not familiar with it and support for it is limited. If you have the opportunity, it might be worth your time to learn a more widely used and supported language like C# or Python.
where VS Code is a powerful, multi-language code editor that offers many features and customization options, making it a great choice for developers. It can be used for Visual Basic development and it's a good alternative for Visual Studio for Mac which does not support Visual Basic.
What is the difference between visual c++ and visual studio.
Also codes written in visual c++ do affect the portability and functionality of the code??
Visual C++ is one of the languages that is supported in the Visual Studio IDE. I'm not aware of a separate Visual C++ IDE, and relevant searches return information about working in Visual Studio.
These are all part of Microsoft's development platform, and as such they most easily target Windows platforms and .NET. Beyond that I'm not sure I understand your question about portability.
I remember seeing Visual C++ awhile back but Microsoft has moved to making Visual Studio their single IDE.
Check out this wiki link for more information. It says that Visual C++ has migrated into Visual Studio. However, it seems there might be some compatibility issues if you are using an older VS. I see you tagged VS2010 so you may want to read up on it depending on what functions you're using. Looks like VS2015 update 3 is the latest release that captures those functions.

I want to replace my MFC Code with Qt. I found this website http://doc.qt.digia.com/solutions/4/qtwinmigrate/winmigrate-walkthrough.html and they say that it works with VS6.
My question is now if I can use this site as a guideline for the replacement with Visual Studio 2010 to and if anyone has experience with Walkthrough on Visual Studio 6?
Thanks
I want to do so because intellisense option for clr console application is not working in visual studio 2010..
Yes, you can. They will run side by side.
However, if you have professional installed, wouldn't it be better to update the install and add c++ to it?
There is no Intellisense support for C++/CLI in Visual Studio 2010 (including in SP1 and the Express edition).
I've been using Visual Assist X from Whole Tomato software for the last few weeks and am very happy with their Intellisense support. From the research I did, it appears that theirs is about the best going (Resharper for example does not support C++).
No, this is not going to solve your problem. The IntelliSense parser is exactly the same in the Express edition, it also doesn't support parsing C++/CLI code. You'll need to find the installer for the VS2008 Express edition. That's going to be quite difficult, you cannot get it from Microsoft anymore. Or you'll have to bear and grin it until the next version for Visual Studio, the Microsoft team promised it will be supported again.
Do keep in mind that you are not writing C++ code, C++/CLI is a very distinct language. There isn't much point in writing complete console mode apps in C++/CLI, you might as well use C#. There's an Express edition for that as well, IntelliSense works.
I am very impressed with the Microsoft Code Contracts.
Unfortunately the static analysis is only available in Visual Studio 2008 Team System and Visual Studio 2010 Premium.
We are happily using Visual Studio 2008 Professional (without MSDN). Upgrading our Visual Studio license from pro to premium is way to expensive.
Is there a good alternative?
Take a look at the MSDN Ultimate Offer for Devs. It's not cheap, but it's a lot less expensive than 2008 Team Suite. Then you can use Visual Studio 2010 from now on with Code Contracts. :)
Also, Code Contracts is different from FxCop, where the latter is what everyone is going to think you're talking about when you say "static code analysis."
I personally use the following tools to help with my code analysis needs:
CodeIt.Right can be used as an analysis tool.
FxCop quite extensive and thorough and also free
CAT tool 1.1 is a simple tool to help identify security flaws in managed code.
Concerning code contracts, take a look at DevLabs portal and click on the "Projects" link to link you to the Code Contracts project available for Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010
The compiler that comes with the platform SDK has static analysis for free.
cl /analyze. You can configure your IDE to use it.
