Just some questions.
Can Visual C++ express be used to code non-CLI applications? What is the proper way to do this?
What's up with the stdafx.h header? Can somebody explain what that is for please?
How come I can't use stdio.h for C code in it? (yet printf and other functions from that library still work? What?!)
Is C++ "comfortable" in CLI?
Is Visual Studio a suitable tool for non-CLI applications?
>is Visual Studio a suitable tool for non-CLI applications?
Yes. Just create an empty project and include the headers that you need.
>What's up with the stdafx.h header?
stdafx.h is ms specific and unnecessary for console applications. There are different ones which just include different headers or define various macros. Just manually #include the specific headers you require.
>How come I can't use stdio.h for C code in it?
You should be able to use this. The only limitation with c and ms compilers is their lack of support for c99.
