Question about VC++ 2003 .NET
Author
VC++ 2003 .NET can compile standard Win32 apps correct?
Im going to buy N3D, but they said it wont work on .NET
I asked the people there and they said as long as it can compile a standard Win32 app like VC++ 6.0 can, it should work.
Can you give a link for N3D?
If they say it doesn't work, they may mean it's not supported and doesn't work out-of-box, but you might be able to make it work on your own.
VS.Net (all versions) can produce normal Win32 apps, but they link against the newer C/C++ run-times than MSVC6 does.

Im running it right now and building WIN32 apps, so yeah, it can. Why wouldnt it?
If someone said it wont work under .NET 2003 for some reason I dont think compiling win32 apps is the reason.

Typically when they say "it won't work on .NET" they are specifically referring to applications written in C#, J#, Managed C++, etc. which run on the .NET framework. Usually this is because they only provide static libs and/or dll/importlibs for languages such as C, C++, and possibly VB. Vs.NET still includes the standard C and C++ compilers for building traditional Win32 executables so you shouldn't have any problems linking it to your apps.
for what they charge for VS it damn well better compiler C++ :D

lol well the kind people at NG said they would look into building a .NET compatible version (meaning able to run in VC++ 2003.NET) if the version meant for VC++ 6.0 didnt work because I requested it. They are very nice people there, and have en excellent product. They have plans for adding over 600+ 3d graphics commands, onto the already made 300 some (i think) commands that deal with the windows API, such as dialogs, controls etc.
