MSVC 2010 Express Beta Editions

[Clyde]

Are there any peoples that are using the beta versions of Visual Studio 2010 Express? And have you found they work ok ( any bugs )?

Any one know when the full versions are due?

Cheers.

The full version of VS2010 Professional came out yesterday.  I will be installing it on my dev systems to try it out.  I don't know about Express versions.

They won't fix the problems you're having with ptc though

Cool and I swear I did not know about that when making the post! Coincidence

Hehe, yeah I know that dude! I need to make a seperate topic about general configurations, I've gone back to CPP and am getting strange lnk failures. which weren't there last time I ran the proggie.

Cool, have just found out that the express editions are out of beta too:

Does anyone know if I need to uninstall VSC++ 2008 Express before the 2010 edition? And is it as simple as uninstalling a regular program, or does it leave folders / settings that need removing somehow?

[Jim]

They can be installed side by side.

you can also have pro and express editions of vs 2010

i have a list of tasks to go through, and if I can't handle them then look out for other stories to be posted!

will see if i can knock up a little demo of sorts.

You might want to look at QuickCG. It is somewhat like PTC but has a bunch more stuff to it. It is based on SDL. I have it working in both VC Express and Code::Blocks w/ MinGW.

Setting up SDL in CB is quite easy, VC takes a bit more work, but isn't too hard. You can follow the instructions for SDL on the CG page just substitute the Dev C++ with CB. For VC I found this.

I really like CG. I am using for all my stuff now.

Thanks for the heads up dude
