AI Thread Summary
To transfer projects from Dev-Cpp to Visual C++, create a new project in Visual C++ and manually add all source code and data files. If the original project used libraries specific to Dev-Cpp, modifications to the code may be necessary. Additionally, adjustments to the main() or WinMain() function might be required, but Visual C++ will generate a compatible main function that can be utilized. The project file formats differ between IDEs, which is why direct opening fails. Properly adapting the project ensures successful migration to Visual C++.

Create a new project in Visual C++ and add all the source code, data files, etc to it.

If you used some libraries that were specific to Dev-Cpp, you may have to modify some of your code. You might need to modify the main() or WinMain() function as well (but when you create the project VC++ will generate a main function that works with VCC+, so just cut-and-paste your code into that).

The format of the "project file" will be specific to each different IDE.
 

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Touch-typing for programmers'

What percentage of programmers have learned to touch type? Have you? Do you think it's important, not just for programming, but for more-than-casual computer users generally? ChatGPT didn't have much on it ("Research indicates that less than 20% of people can touch type fluently, with many relying on the hunt-and-peck method for typing ."). 'Hunt-and-peck method' made me smile. It added, "For programmers, touch typing is a valuable skill that can enhance speed, accuracy, and focus. While...

Thread 'Microsoft Technical Interview question'

I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
