There exist many C++ IDEs. However, I find Visual Stuido (Visual Studio 2010 Pro) the most comfortable maybe because I’ve spent a lot of time with it. The problem is I really don’t like .NET dependent products both speed-wise and compatibility-wise.

I guess there is no way to compile VB and C# codes without .NET dependency (please correct me if I’m wrong). In C++, is there a way to use VS IDE with all its functions like auto-complete, GUI design etc.. while keeping all the codes unmanaged so that .NET will not be required?

    When you create a new project, if you select a Win32 project then it is a ‘native’ C++ application and does not depend on .NET. For existing projects, the relevant setting is Configuration Properties -> General -> Common Language Runtime Support. Set this to No Common Language Runtime Support to remove .NET dependencies.

    Of course, the main UI designers for VC++ are the WPF and Windows.Forms designers – which depend on .NET components to implement them. If you don’t want to use them, you’re stuck using MFC for your user interface. It’s not my idea of a good time, but many people do use it.
