Borland C++ vs. Visual C++
Author
Hi, Im in a Computer Science class and we use Borland C++ Builder 5.0, we are learning console applications and basic staff like loops, functions, structures, etc... But when I go home and try stuff like I did in Borland it doesnt work (at home I have VC++ 6.0 Standard). For example in Borland I declare...
string Name="Thomas";
but in VC++ I cant do that. Also in Borland I do
#include
then use the gotoxy() function like gotoxy(1,1);
but at home I include the same header and use the same function but it wont work. And yes I know I have the conio.h header in the include directory.
So can anyone help in in these probibly very simple problems?
Thanks
gotoxy is *not* declared in Visual C++'s conio.h header file, but it is in Borland's. So, it's not through any error of yours, only the actual function is not declared in the header shipped with Visual C++.
As for the other problem, I'm not sure about whether I'm right, but I believe you have a problem with
string Name="Thomas";
because string is a member of the Standard Template Library. I'm not so sure about how to use string, maybe someone else can help you there
.
Hope I was of some help!

#include <string>using namespace std;int main(int argc, char* argv[]){ string name = "Thomas"; return 0;} Works for me ...

That string example above didnt not work with me, weird. Also were would I be able to find the Microsoft version of Borlands gotoXY function (if possible)?
Try this:
[Resist Windows XP''s Invasive Production Activation Technology!]
void gotoxy(int x, int y) { HANDLE hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); COORD Pos = { x, y }; SetConsoleCursorPosition(hConsole, Pos);} [Resist Windows XP''s Invasive Production Activation Technology!]
Download the free Borland C++ compiler and use only Borland C++. It is much better. Or download Delphi 6 or Kylix 2

To the best of my knowledge, no product activation scheme is planned for VS.NET(VS 7.0)
