    Possible to make a console application with VS.NET???

    Hey, this may sound like a dumb question, but I want to make a console application in C++ using Visual Studio .NET. In VC++ 6.0 I could just choose new project and choose a console application. But there is no option for that in .NET.

    There's an option to make a console app in C# but I don't know C# and I'd rather stay away from it anyway. So is it possible?

    There's also an option to make a console app in "Managed" C++. I tried that out and I didn't even recognize the darn code!
    int t_main() or something,
    and to output stuff you have to write:
    Console:rint("blah blah blah");
    What the heck is that all about?

    I just want a regular old console dos terminal type of program!!! Any ideas?

    win32 console app.

    After you tell VC++ .net that you want to start a new win32 application, the win32 application wizard will appear. From there select the "application settings" tab. Here you will be able to select the console application button. You can also tell it that you want to create an empty project rather than a default.
