How to work in Visual Studio 2015?

Question

C++ / C#

Such a topic. I used to write programs in C ++ in the usual Builder, now I have to switch to VS, because. in all companies they write on it, downloaded VS 2015, console applications are still clear, they are practically the same, but I don’t understand visual (form) applications at all how to work with them, it seems that there is not a C ++ language, but some Chinese characters. Please help, who can already figured out who is what, or tell me something, I will be very glad to any literature, any lessons.

Answer 1

As it will not be in the builder;) VCL has long died, like MFC, here you are right that you switched.
VS is just an IDE, rather poor for pluses without any resharpers and plugins there. Incl. write not on VS, but in VS.
For C++, a sane GUI (and not only) framework is Qt. That's what you need to study if you want interfaces (do not forget about QML). I would say that there are simply no alternatives corresponding to the level. The situation is the same in the labor market.
By the way, there is an extension for VS to support Qt. I'm really not sure about extensions for the latest versions (because I don't work under Windows), but you can look at the site.

Zibor's VS 2010 book will do for a start

Answer 3

To work with forms in VS, you need to know, in addition to pure C ++, also .NET
