Visual Studio.Net EXPRESS Editon

hello I have VS.NET EE and I was wondering why in Visual C++ I could not program it with out getting errors aperently it uses commands like

' System::out ("Text Here") '

or something around the lines of that. However I was trying to learn the basics like this

#Include <Iostream>
#Using Namespace Std;

int main() {

cout<<"Hello World" ;

return 0;
}

But this just does not work with it. is there a reson for this? because it works fine on "Dev C++".

Thank you.

'using' is a C++ reserved word, and should not be prefixed with a precompiler directive (the # character).

Additionally, the .NET framework way of printing is not

Code:

System::Out

It is

Code:

System::Console::WriteLine("Hello");

ok I knew I did not get that right. I never programed in Visual C++ before. I think it is best that I just use Dev C++ to learn the basics.

Starting with .NET Visual C++ is "Managed Extensions for C++" (unless you specify a non .NET project type) which is really a different language altogether from standard C++.

I would reccommend you stay away from it if you are new to programming in C++.

ok so stay away from .NET untill I learned normal C++?

Yes... or you could just skip C++ and use one of the more syntactically consistent next-generation languages like C# or Java.

You could easily learn to program C#.NET or Java and go back to and do C++ as well.

Which Language would you recomend?

Either one would be good, but I prefer C#.

ok, thank you. I heard that C# is a runoff of C++ in a way, Is this correct if it is I will think about learning it first.

Edit: Hey I found this E-book called "Visual C# express for kids" it seems good, its writen by a member at Micosoft and is writen for Teens ages 10+ for learning C# express, it comes with samples step by step guides and a e-book, you can get the fist 6 chapters free but you have to buy the last 5 chapters for around $12.
