/clr

[caffineplease]

Does anyone know how I can set this option in .NET as I'm trying to compile unmanaged code and its not allowing me since I have to set the /CLR option.

Does anyone know?

Did you try "/clr (Common Language Runtime Compilation)" from MSDN (Compiler Options Listed Alphabetically)?

From the solutions explorer right click on the project which you want to add the /clr option to and select properties. Under the c++ folder in the properties dialog select command line.
In the additional options box type "/clr".

You may have to change a couple of the other compile options as some of the defaults are not compatible with the /clr option.

Thanks for your reply. another question. If I port my old VC++ code over to .Net with that option does my unmanaged code become mangaed?

Can I use the .Net environment in the same way that I use VC++ 6 without fear that it's going to change my code?

When you port your project your existing classes do not become managed. To make existing classes managed you have to use the __gc keyword in the class header file, for example:

__gc class MyClass
{
public MyClass();
etc...
}

As far as using VC7, I am sure that your code will not be changed but you may need to change it. I had to give up porting a large MFC app as there were so many compile error regarding Message maps, strings and fstreams. However, i write all my new stuff using VC7 and find it very good.

Good luck
