How can I make a console application with VC.NET?
I don't see the option.
In VC 6 I used to have this 'console application' / 'MFC console application' option!

Can anybody help me?

Thanks!

Win32 project - console app.

Thanks anyway!

Not trying to be rude or anything, but why include the .NET framework for a console application?

When you use the .NET framework, you limit yourself to people with the framework and I doubt you'll give people a 20MB framework setup file in your little console program.

kasracer, the newer c++ (and other language) compilers were called .NET as a marketing ploy to show that support for the .NET framework was included. That support is not made mandatory, however, and the compilers are still good for what they are intended (in fact, the c++ compiler is quite good, and the newer 2003 is one of the best on the market). A console program need include only the support for which it desires to use. Nothing more, nothing less...

Obviously, but this forum is called Visual C++ .NET, which should mean these people are using managed .NET code, if they were not they should post in Visual C++ or just in regul;ar C++ forum.

That is why I psoted what I psoted, I figured people went by this. If not, mybe there should be some forum merging cause it is useless as if IF this forum isn't ment to talk about .NET

Unfortunately, this is not correct. This forum is intended to answer questions regarding Visual C++ .NET, disregarding whether they are using managed or unmanged code.

That also means that questions regarding the compiler itself (like settings, wizards etc.) like this one should be asked here and not in the Visual C++ programming forum.

I agree though, that it might interfere with the Visual C++ forum when it comes down to general programming questions, whether they are managed or not.
