Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005

Migrating projects  or creating new projects under Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005 require attention to the following topics:

• Configuring Microsoft Visual Studio
• Creating  Projects
• Hello World Program in C++
• Known Problems
• Your Visual Studio .NET Folder

Configuring Microsoft Visual Studio

The first time you launch Microsoft Visual Studio, you must chose a Default Enviroment:

De

Once you make your selection, Visual Studio displays a message it is configuring the Environment for the first time use.

When you use Online Help for the first time, Microsoft displays the Online Help Window.  Choose Use Local Help as primary source:

 

You can set this in the Options Help Online Menu.

Creating Projects

All programs written in .NET require you to create projects.

To create a new project, click File > New > Project. A window resembling the
following appears:

Select a Project Type (Basic, C++, etc.) and a Template from the right hand pane.

Give the project a name and verify that the location to be in your My Documents folder - V:\My Documents\Visual Studio Project.

Click the OK button.

Your Visual Studio .NET Folder

The first time you create a project, Visual Studio .NET select to install it in the folder Visual Studio Project in your My Documents folder.  This allow each of your projects to be a folder within V:\My Document\Visual Studio Projects when you create a new project.

Known Problems

• When creating or running a Visual Studio application from a network drive, the following message appears:  "The project location is not trusted: ..."
• Simply press the OK button
• Working on solution using the CASPOL command

Hello World Program in C++

• To create a new project, click File > New > Project.
• Select a Project Type as C++ and  Template as C/C++ Console Application.
• Give the project name as HelloWorld in your default Visual Studio Project folder.
• Double-click on  HelloWorld.cpp in the source files area of the Solution Expert and the skeleton of code appears.
• Edit the file as follows:

 

// HelloWorld.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
cout << "Hello World from C++" << endl;

return 0;
}

#include <iostream>  defines the global stream objects of cin, cout,  cerr, etc.
using namespace std;  allows the names in a namespace std to be used without the namespace-name as an explicit qualifier.

 

And to read and display a name in the Hello World program,  add the following three bold lines;

// HelloWorldPlus.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
cout << "Type in your name: ";
string s;
cin >> s;
cout << "Hello " << s << " from C++" << endl;

return 0;
}

Intel Visual Fortran Projects

To create an Intel Visual Fortran project, do the following:
1. Click Intel® Fortran Projects in the left pane (as shown above) to display the
Intel Visual Fortran project types.
2. Click the appropriate project type.
3. Accept or specify a project name (shown above as Console1).
4. Accept or specify the Location for the project directory.
5. Click the OK button. To assist you with project creation, Intel Visual Fortran
provides an Application Wizard.
An Application Wizard window appears for the selected project type. For Console,
Dynamic Link Library, Static Library, and Windows application projects, the Application
Wizard window lets you select options for creating the project. For example, when you
create a Console project, click Application Settings in the left margin to display
the Application Wizard options.
Once you click the OK

Understanding Intel Visual Fortran Project Types
Development is organized into projects consisting of the source files required to
build an application. To set up a project, you need to define the project and set
options for it. Then, using the source files, you can build the binary executable or
library file. The output of building the application becomes part of the project. A
project is stored in a project folder on your hard drive.
Intel Visual Fortran projects can be a main program, or they can be a subprogram
in the form of a static or dynamic link library.
If the Intel Visual Fortran project is a main program, it must be one of the
following project types:
 Console application. When you run a Fortran Console application, it
displays a single character-cell terminal window. The programmingcomplexity for a Console application is simple, since the output resembles
character-cell applications (no graphics).
 QuickWin application. When you run a Fortran QuickWin application, it
displays as multiple windows with graphics such as menus, charts, and
icons. Programming complexity ranges from simple to moderate,
depending on the graphics and user interaction used.
 Windows application. A Windows application provides full access to the
Win32* APIs, giving you a larger (and different) set of functions to work
with than QuickWin projects. The programming complexity for Windows
applications is typically more complex than with Console or QuickWin
applications.
If your Intel Visual Fortran project is a subprogram that is linked into a main
