IF7.1 and Visual Studio

[billaustralia]

I am using CVF 6.6 and all going fine.

So I thought vf7 would be even better...

Installed using all the defaults, but still cvf 6.6 in visual studio.

Read the installation notes and I might be doing it correctly ??

IF 7.x does not integrate into Visual Studio. If you don't have CVF also, it has a "plug-in" which can be used to do compiles from the VS environment, but it is nowhere near as nice as CVF here.

Note that your install of IF 7.1 will cause CVF to not work until you remove the Intel directories from the various Tools..Options..Directories lists. You can still use IF 7.1 from the command prompt.

IF 7.1 does have some features CVF doesn't, such as REAL*16 and OpenMP. But otherwise, I don't think I'd say that IF 7.1 was "better" than CVF.

Thanks for putting me straight Steve. I will stick to cvf 6.6.

What happens if I update my vb5?

At present I can use vb5.exe as my debug executable for debugging my cvf dll.

Then if I
) press f9 at the first line of my cvf dll,
) press f5 in cvf, vb5 starts
) press f8 in vb; move line by line in vb to the dll call
) focus moves to cvf first line

Heaven really!

And the same with vba calling the dll.

Will this all still work if I update to vb6? vbnet?

None of that should change with VB updates. It's in its own world still.
