How to port C++ from Unix to Window .Net C++ system?

Hi,

I need to port a large C++ system on unix (built a long time ago)
into Visual C++ on windows XP (.NET).

There are many subdirectories in that system. It can't not even
find iostream.h in Visual Studio. How  shall I do it properly?

Thanks a lot.

Hi jfz2004,
This is actually a big topic and can be quite complex or very simple depending on your application. But to fix that issue, the easiest way is to simply do
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

That should stop problems when using stuff from standard library.

Cheers!

Thanks so much. I will try that.

Do you also have some ideas on how to treat subdirectories?
Is it better to make them dlls or just  leave sub-dirs as they are?

Hi,

I just tried using namespace std; but the compiler says:
'std' : a namespace with this name does not exist.

Did I miss anything here?

Thanks,

Please ignore my last post. It's my fault. I placed
"using namespace std" before #include <iostream.h>.

But in C# I always put using... at the very begining. Why is
it different here?
