Hello,
im new to the program and trying to follow one of the walk thru's in the help files.

i seem to be missing something important tho,

1.On the File menu, click New, and then click Project.
The New Project dialog box appears.

2.In the Project Types pane, click Visual C++ Projects, and in the Templates pane, click the MFC Application icon.
Click to expand...

Visual C++ Projects does not apear under projects.

heres all that shows up:

Visual Basic Projects
setup and deployment projects
other projects
Visual Studio solutions


Could anyone please tell me why I am not seeing Visual C++ Projects?

I also don't seem to have any Application wizards, which i am finding reference to in several areas of the help file.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well nilmer in the installation of your visual studio .net you can choose what language tools you want to work with. You may have missed this during installation. Enter the Visual Studio .NET CD and update your installation to include C++ .

Hope this helps..
 
tried it

no luck :[

the only language option it shows is VB6.0


do i have Visual Studio.net or Visual Basic.net? is it the same thing?


Except for the prereq disk, everything, including the box says Visual Basic.net

the installed program, however is called Visual Studio.

:confused:


You seem to have Visual Studio 6 (Or you inserted the Visual Studio 6 CD) ....

Are you sure you have Visual Studio .NET then there is something wrong. Either you have been tricked or you are in the wrong section (you are talking about VB6..)

I have never heard of any Visual Studio .NET with VB6. This is very weird...
 
hmm


purchased brand new, still wrapped, titled:



Microsoft
Visual Basic.net
Standard

Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Family Memeber Version 2003
 
Makes sense to me.

Its just really annoying that the helpfiles explain how to use some amazing features that don't exist.

Ya thats it it only has VB, but I wonder why they put VB 6.0

I think it should be VB 7.0
 
now all i need to do is figure out how to use the MS agent COM in VB using only C++ instructions

:D
 
im sure its possible.
just having trouble getting it to work.
VB.net is not accepting the code that i would use in VB to get it going.
 
Why are you still insisting on using VB ??

In another post of yours about MS Agent, Robby gave you a link to C# code that works and I gave you a link to a VB.NET project about MS Agent. I myself am using MS Agent in VB.NET, why do you still need to use VB ??
 
umm.... as we established above, VB.net does not accept C# language.

as for you givign me a link to a VB.net project, tho i do know several Scripting languages, I am completely unfamiliar with VB.net, or even VB. Looking for some basic instructions, or even a tutorial.
