I wanted to know which are the top 5 IDE's in the market today for development/maintenance of C/C++ applications? I am looking for both windows and linux based IDE's. They can by open source or proprietary.
Visual Studio is the most popular IDE. I would say it allows large companies to make (internal) mediocre software really fast, which allows them to get back to their 'real' jobs.
As for Linux C/C++ IDEs, I'm a big fan of QT Creator myself. It can be found from your distributions repos, or the QT website itself: http://qt.nokia.com/products/developer-tools/
Eclipse also has a C/C++ version, I haven't tried it though. But based on their Java version, I would bet it is fairly heavy: http://www.eclipse.org/

Are QT/WxWidgets wrappers around respective native APIs' on linux, windows and Mac?
How are cross-platform windows framework built? How is cross-compiling done?
Thanks
Yes.
Sometimes they use lower level APIs to generate their own implementation of higher level APIs; like one that uses OpenGL to implement non-OS widget library. At other times they could adapt/reskin/modify OS widgets.
They are usually not cross-compiled. They just build and provide a similar API on multiple platforms, allowimg "client" code to compile with fewer changes on multiple platforms.

I would like to make a graphical application using Visual Studio 2010. I am trying to use C++ and have the app run natively on windows 7 straight out of an exe. Please give me some suggestions for what libraries to include as well as general concepts or a help document for it.
I know the question is broad, but I am only looking for broad answers.
Thanks
The "basement of everything" is the windows "hello world"
and all the windows API and related usage.
You can easily start from here.
If you are interested in other platforms, the equivalent base forn *nix (and linux-) derived systems are the X11 API.
There are then framework libraries that wrap both Windows or X API exposing a same consistent interface, like
WxWidget
GTK
Qt
FLTK

Some are easier, some more complete, some other even overkill.
But it's mostly all about taste.
VC++ provides Windows Forms for GUI development and GDI+ for 2D graphics, built-in and full-fledged. What more do you need ?

Could you advise any lightweight cross-platform C++ library for verifying RSA digital signatures? I would like to use the same codebase on WinRT, Android and iOS.
I have looked at CryptoC++, Botan and OpenSSL, but they seem to be rather heavyweight, and quite difficult to build.
LibTomCrypt seems to be a bit simpler than the rest, however I couldn't get it to compile in a Visual Studio project yet.
Has anyone managed to get LibTomCrypt to work on WinRT? Is there any other lightweight library to use?

Has anyone found and IDE for programming ON iOS? Specifically I'm coding for the nds in c++, but I was wondering if there really is any IDE that is for coding on iOS. If anyone's heard of one, please tell me the name because I have not been able to find one.
Not specifically an IDE for C++, but there are alternatives:
Codea is an application for iPad that lets you write Lua code on your device;
You can install the LLVM-Clang toolchain (on jailbroken devices only) to compile C, C++ and Objective-C code on the device itself;
And practically you can use any text editor and/or file manager application to write your code.
The closet thing I know is textastic-code-editor, however exist now a large list of apps, like for example Code-Editors-For-the-iPad

I have a old windows application written in borland C++ 5.0. this uses the OWL library very much in it's code. this has to be ported to Visual studio 2005/2008 (C++ or C#). search in google shows lot of links but nothing quite concrete or useful. can anyone show the correct direction to start this? also share any pitfalls or best practices?
this is going to be a painful process to do. you may end up re-writing the entire application. before that consider OWLNext in sourceforge.
PS: I don't have any experience in doing this.
if you do not want to rewrite the entire application, your best bet is to migrate to OWLNext
(http://owlnext.sourceforge.net/).
First step will be to still use Borland C++ 5.0x, but upgrade the project to use OWLNext instead of the old OWL libraries.
After that, you can create a new VC++ project, add your sources there, build OWLNext for VC++ and start using it for further development.
