Using Visual C++ 7 instead of eVC++ 4

Hi,
I've been using embedded Visual C++ for a while now, and I also have Visual Studio .NET (not sure which version, I got it from school for Imagine Cup, I found that it's possible to make apps for CF in VS.NET, using C# and VB.NET atleast), but is it possible to use it instead of eVC++?

The reason I want to do this, is that I'm working on a project for both Win32 and PocketPC platform. Would make it alot easier just to change which platform I want to compile to, instead of having two projects, in two different programs...

I tried in VC++ to add a configuration in options for it, but the only platform that's listed is "Win32". (I'm downloading SP3 for eVC right now, gonna see if that changes anything).

Anyone have any experience or ideas about this?

You cannot use Visual Studio .NET to write CPP applications for now. You
will have to keep using eVC to write for the Pocket PC device.
If by "Win32" you mean the Desktop platform, you will need to write your
projects for that one in Visual Studio.

Good Luck with Imagine Cup.

No. Device support for C++ doesn't exist in Studio yet. It will in the
next version (Whidbey), but that's still some time off.
