Hi all..
I'm planning to translate an application I programmed in VC++ 6.0 to
VC++.NET platform becaun in VS.NET it's easier to develop. The question is:
if I compile an application under VS.NET, it will run under Windows 98 O.S.
without any problem?
I use vc.net 2003 (7.1) for compiling my applications, which run under
95, 98, ME, NT4, 2K, XP and 2K3. For an unmanaged application, you
just have to be careful not to use features available on earlier
platforms, or perform specific checks and dynamically link to newer
APIs when necessary (and provide fall-back code for earlier O/Ses).
In other words, if it compiles now on VC6.0, you should be able to
compile on VC7.1 and deploy on Windows 98.
However, if you plan to convert it to a .NET application, I'm not sure
what the limitations are, as I have not done any .NET development.
The IDE in VC.Net 2003 (at least for standard Win32 C/C++ development)
is horrible compared to 6.0, so I'm not sure what you mean by "VS.NET
being easier to develop." If you mean .NET applications, you may be
right, but the threads I've seen here certainly don't seem to
illustrate that!
