Can I build non-.net framework (native windows) apps with VS-.Net?

Can I build non-.net framework (native windows) apps with
VS-.Net?

You'll need to at least have the framework to build an app. Using Unsafe
code you can do a lot, call old .dll's (after all, isn't most of .NET just
an elegant OO wrapper of COM?) etc etc etc.

As an old C++ programmer, there's not a good reason to use VS.NET to write
old school stuff...and no, you can't write anything that won't run under the
framework.

HTH,

Well, I'm pretty sure that you can use plain ole C++ and ATL or MFC if you
want to, I know I wrote a silly vanilla C app not long ago. You no longer
have access to VB6, but C++ is still completly capable of targeting the
system natively

You can use C++ to build native applications as long as you only use
unmanaged code. To run a C#, VB.Net or managed C++ application, you must
have the .Net Framework installed on the client machine.

I realize this is the php group, but I have a question that recurses back to my php install. My objective is a pure 64 bit shared object installation of php 5.0 on UltraSparc Solaris 9 compiled with the Sun Compiler version 8. My problem is that EVERYTHING builds great EXCEPT that the 6b distribution of JPEG will NOT build a shared object, thus gd cannot include support for JPEG, thus php loses that functionality.

I'm an indie shareware Windows game developer. In indie shareware game development, download size is terribly important; conventional wisdom holds that--even today--your download should be 5MB or less. I'd like to use Python in my games. However, python24.dll is 1.86MB, and zips down to 877k. I can't afford to devote 1/6 of my download to just the scripting interpreter; I've got music, and textures, and my own crappy code to ship. ...

I have an asp.net solution with a web deployment project. When we try to build/debug, we get the message: An editor or project is attempting to check out a file that is modified in memory, which will result in saving it. Saving files during the build process is dangerous and can result in incorrect build outputs in future. Do you want to continue with the check out?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
