i would rather NOT use a separate compiler, that i already know how to use!  i want to stick with VS as the compler of choice, i know that VS isnt actually a compiler, but i dont think its choosing NASM or MASM either as the compiler, not sure what its using but thats not the problem.

The link below shows how to set up VS .Net for MASM,,,

i noticed that when i compiled my ASM file that it already uses MASM. looks like its already installed with VS

Simon,

I was unaware of the fact that MASM was pre-installed with VC.NET. This was not the case with MSVC6. This is a good thing which could simplify certain things a bit.

Thanks.

Sincerely, Chris.
