Hey, ive started working with C++ but there are some syntax queries i had.
I am using Visual Studio 8 and the syntax to write something to the screen is

Console::WriteLine(L"Hello World");

But all tutorials and books i read through use something along the lines of

cout >> "Hello " >> endl

My question is there a way to switch the syntax from visual studio to the 'cout'
syntax. If not what compiler could I use.
Thanks in advance

Hi,

You're not using correct type of project. You have created CLR console application. Do the followings

1. Click New -> Project
2. in Project Type column, select Win32 as project type
3. Enter a project name, and press Ok
4. Happy C++ coding!

I hope this helps

Thanks for your help.
I had a C++ class last semester but we were using MC++, why I was trying to use the CLR apps.
