Hello all,

I've started using Visual C++ 2010 Express. Yesterday I've stumbled on something how to set the environment (including external libraries) and decided to get a book to really understand the IDE, what are it's capabilities etc.
Unfortunately I failed. I haven't found a good book dedicated just for the IDE. There were topics like MFC, .NET and other stuff included, which I'm not interested. I'm interested in stuff like linker/compiler settings, profiling in VC++, and all the features that are provided by the IDE how to use them and especially what are they for. In many cases I found a way, how to set something, but didn't understand what is it good for.

Is there a good book you would recommend me? It can be even ancient, not the newest one.

Thank you very much for advices.

I want to thank all of you for the tips. Some of the web pages I found by myself, but they are not related to the IDE so deeply as I would expect and concentrate on the C++ language alot. Anyways the sources are still usefull and there is plenty of interesting stuff included. But the most obvious solution was codesource suggested by Tadit Dash!

I found a video there for Visual Studio 2010 Tips and Tricks, which led me to this book:

Coding Faster:
Getting More Productive with Microsoft
Visual Studio
by Zain Naboulsi & Sara Ford

The book is dedicated for VS 2005, 2008 and 2010 and seems to be describing all the functionalities of VS! This is what I was looking for. Thank you guys very much for you help!

There is a book Visual Studio .NET Tips and Tricks[^] by Minh T. Nguyen[^], but it covers the Visual Studio .NET 2002, 2003, and 2005 Beta 1 releases.

You can download the free Ebook version by clicking on "Download this book FREE (PDF)".

You can also search on CodeProject - visual studio[^]. You will get many good resources. :)
