Book or single e-document for newbies to MS Studio.net

[keefer]

Hi,

I'm one of those dinosaurs who learns much more from a printed document than one that appears on the screen. I find the term "Help Files" to be a contradiction in terms. (e.g. C was the grade one received in a Class in which one did not do well. C# is a key in which a musical score is written:) Does anyone reccommend a book in which at least half is devoted to the Studio.NET IDE? Is there anything comparable to a "class" (inC++)? Unlike good ole CVF, which expected that one was writting in Fortran, Studio.Net is understandably biased toward C andcan be adapted for thingslike Java (but not Focal, APL or PL/1). Is there something I can read (electonic or other wise) about using it effectively in an IVF8 context?

Regards,

Keith

P.S. Thanks Steve for your answer to my other dumb question.

There are probably lots of books on the VS.NET IDE, though they will all be from the C++ or other MS language perspective. Fundamentally, it's very much like it was with CVF except that on some of the screens, Fortran is called out as a separate group of options. Some things are in different places - my "porting" document posted above can help with that.

When you install VC.NET/VS.NET, you can install the VS.NET Combined Help Collection, which does include a manual on using the IDE, though again from a C++ perspective. The Intel Fortran User's Guide and the Getting Started manual cover the Fortran differences.
