Microsoft Vc++

I don't knw on what basis different project type are selected in Microsoft Visual C++ ? What is difference of each project type in Microsoft Visual C++?

I think I know what you are asking, but to be certain, can you give examples of what you think are different "project types"? Especially the ones you are most curious in getting an explanation about.

There are different types like
MFC Appwizard(dll),
MFC Appwizard(exe),
Win32 Application,
Win32 console Application.... knw. I want to know what types of application are created using these project type i.e Plz tel me clearly what is the use of each project type and when and how it is used?

I'll answer your question. But...

Plz tel me clearly what is the use of each project type and when and how it is used?

Just a warning: that kind of sentence will annoy many people. Don't use IM speak ("plz" for "please") and don't demand people tell you anything. Ask your question, and you'll get the response the question warrants. No one is obligated to tell you anything.

Now, an application requires various settings, like whether it uses the MFC libraries, whether it relies on there being a console to start with, whether the application is really a library of code, and so on. As such, there are some logical categories to divide applications into. Code is either made to run (an application) or is created as a library (shared "dll" or static "lib"). Applications in windows either rely on the OS supplying a console "console application" or do everything themselves from the Windows API "Win32 Application".

Beginners will not touch anything other than the console application. As your experience grows, you will have to start working with other types of applications.

Ok. Here after I won't use Plz.I will ask question alone.Do you know any good book on Visual C++ for beginners?

Hi there,

I don't know what level you want the book you will read to be but one of the best books for both experts and beginners for VC++ is the following (in my humble opinion of course and I am a pretty happy owner of it too :P)

Ivor Horton's Book

However, if you do not know C++ itself, relying on a "Visual C++" book is a bad bad idea. Given that any knowledgeable expert on C++ would stress platform independence, it's a big red flag for trying to learn C++ from a platform specific book.

If you are completely new to C++, I recommend Accelerated C++ by Koenig or C++ Primer by Lippman. The books are structured differently, so you can benefit from getting both. They are suitable for people completely new to C++. Both books are written by authors who actually know C++ inside out. They are also reflective of modern, correct C++ programming, not the old C idiomatic C++ programming.

I am not new to C++ I know C++ already. I asked books only for Microsoft Visual C++ because I am new to this only.I have to soon work on this platform. So tell me book for Microsoft Visual C++ which help me to learn quickly.
