Sure, Visual Studio works in both those environments and more. You can get a free copy of the express version from http://www.microsoft.com/Express/VC/.



Ignore the Visual C++ aspect because it is not like Visual Basic where you have use forms. You can create standard C++ console, service, etc. type of software with it also (i.e., non-visual applications).

Okay, everybody has said Visual C++. I'm a linux user. I could mention several other compilers but I haven't really dug into the guts of Windows since 2006 so I wouldn't trust my answers on Vista or Win 7 -- for the most part and neither should you.



Dev-C++ I want to warn you about. The home page has not been updated since 2005. What it is is an IDE for a port of the GCC compiler. GCC has been upgraded, substantively, several times since 2005. So there is a new IDE for the latest port -- of the type that Dev-C++ uses -- called Visual MinGW:



http://visual-mingw.sourceforge.net/



Both Dev-C++ AND Visual MinGW use the MinGW port.

Also available as a port is gcc as Cygwin, actually both are GCC and almost all the GNU Tools which with the Linux kernel are called the GNU/Linux OS, so both are sometimes called Unix emulators despite being quite able to compile Windows programs which will run in Windows only. Cygwin is sponsored by Red Hat, which is the largest Open Source/GNU/Linux company in the world:

Its page says it runs on Vista and 2008 Server as well as older systems, but rest assured if it runs on those two systems it will run on Windows 7.

*facepalm



Ok, I will assume your new to this scene and just tell you.



Choice A) Microsoft Visual Studio Express Editions



Choice B) Blood Shed Dev C++



They are both free, with the MS one it has a web installer.

greater useful obtain some virtualization application like digital computing device and deploy homestead windows xp in it; then deploy the rapid c compiler in it.. those compilers at the instant are out of date so which you greater useful change to the two borland's or intel's or microsoft seen studio as different options.
