Hi

I want to develop a few assignment in C++ on windows. But Visual studio does not provide a few user functionalities that makes development a real pain.

If some one can help me out with setting netbeans C++ environment to use the same compiler that visual studio is using.

thanks - dev Sunday .

+1  A: 

you can use : Cygwin

and see these for C++ in Netbeans :

C and C++ Development Netbeans configure for c/c++

i try to use VC compiler in Netbeans but i can't synchronize them .

I am doing my development on university machines, where i am not allowed (restricted user) to installed any thing. Visual studio and netbeans are installed .

You can use mingw and cygwin without install them see link over

NetBeans supports so called Tool Collection Descriptors, which are XML files telling NetBeans how to work with specific compiler collection. By default descriptors for Cygwin and MinGW are shipped. But it should be possible to create your own descriptor for Visual Studio and install it into NetBeans.

See this tutorial: http://www.netbeans.org/kb/docs/cnd/toolchain.html
