Hi there!
I have a question about using TheIDE & U++ and Visual Studio 2008/2010 IDE (VS) as a team.
Im planning an application with 32 and 64 bit target as an experiment and to learn TheIDE/U++. And my intention is to keep the source as portable for linux/gcc as possible.
My intention is to stick with the microsoft compiler for windows for debugging / profiling and "lolevel" stuff while using TheIDE and U++ as the GUI prototyping and main application skeleton development tool.
-------------------
Plan:
1.First I expect to design the basic GUI application using U++ with its functionality as a prototype.
2.Then I will switch over to Visual Studio and create a compatible workspace/project type and add all existing source created inside TheIDE (sharing the sources across both IDEs) and build it inside Visual Studio. During this phase i may add external 3rd party libraries etc and build & test using Visual Studio.
3.If there are any changes required in the GUI during the development, i switch back to TheIDE. Now I either have to make the code added during phase 2 compilable inside TheIDE OR i maintain all "exterior code from VS as stubs with some ifdefs - whatever is easier. Then I iterate Phase 2 and 3 until the application is complete.
-------------------
The Problems i expect will be to keep the project / compiler settings compatible across both IDEs as well as all project source files.
Questions:
What is your general opinion about this approach ?
Is there anything should I know to make things easier for me ?
Is it maybe better to always add source code inside the TheIDE structure, and then change in VS ?
kind regards
jz

I am a beginner myself, so perhaps not the most indicated person to answer, but here are my two cents. Unless there is something really advanced that you have to do with VC++, I don't really see any need to change back and forth between the two IDEs. U++ can produce executables using the VC++ compiler, and you can also link libraries directly.
The VC++ debugger is of course a plus, but on the other hand since you want to port the code to linux, I honestly don't see why you should bother with the whole cumbersome experience instead of just sticking to U++ and letting it do the hard work for you.
