How can i debugging VB6 project and its classes from attached process by using the Visual Studio 2017 and above version,
I am using visual studio 2017.
The configuration window image. Just click on it.
I upgraded C++ projects from Visual Studio 2010 to Visual Studio 2015, but it's still showing (Visual Studio 2010) in the Solution Explorer.
Please inform me if there is any change I need to do to solve this error.
This is displayed in the Solution Explorer:
This is not an error, it simply means that the project is using the toolkit that came with Visual Studio 2010. This doesn't prevent your projects from being compiled however.
To upgrade the project to the Visual Studio 2015 toolkit right click on the projects showing (Visual Studio 2010) and select the desired toolkit under General->Platform Toolset.
Cross-Platform Project Templates in Visual Studio 2015 are Not in Visual Studio 2017. How To Add templates in VS2017?
I'm currently using Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows desktop, but I can't really find the DirectX template, FILE -> New project -> Visual C++ , but there's neither a DirectX template nor a Windows app folder-sector. I've searched this in Google but no one seem to have posted about it. Where is the template?
The "DirectX" templates provided by Visual Studio are for Windows Store, Windows phone, or Universal apps. They are only provided in the VS 2013 Express for Windows, VS 2013 Pro+, or VS 2013 Community edition.
There are only two built-in Visual C++ Win32 desktop templates in Visual Studio:
Win32 Console Application
Win32 project
As others have noted, if you want to build for Windows Store, Windows phone, or Universal apps you need (a) Windows 8.1 and (b) some other edition of VS 2013.
If you are writing a Win32 desktop application and/or have Windows 7, consider downloading and installing this template: Direct3D Win32 Game Visual Studio template
Also, I highly recommend using VS 2013 Community rather than VS 2013 Express for Windows Desktop if you fit the quite generous license requirements--if not, buy VS 2013 Pro.
You need to download the correct version of Visual Studio. The desktop version doesn't have DirectX for Windows store apps. You need to download Visual Studio 2013 Express For Windows, scroll down to Express 2013 for Windows or direct link
Is MFC only available with Visual Studio, or is it also possible to use it with Visual C++ Express?
Now there exists a solution to this problem, for all the people want to use a free version.
Visual Studio Community 2013 comes with the MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) included. Download link: https://www.visualstudio.com/products/visual-studio-community-vs
Edit: Visual Studio Community 2015 is now also released.
