Install TBE for Code::Blocks

#1 This is awsome TBE didn't work at all and this does thank you

#2 Thanks! I have a fellow programming who seems to be hating ms c++.. he has been trying various compilers without much luck (even though i told him to just use visual c++ .net and get it over with)... I'll link him to this :)

Also... there's a free version of the visual c++ .net compiler. It's commandline, but does the trick fine. For anyone who's interrested

#3 This is cool... I'm using TBE as of now, but Eclipse has some annoying issues and is a bit bloated IMHO. Maybe I'll give this a spin.

#4 @Robin As a matter of fact, the current distributed version of Code::Blocks can use a multitude of compilers (5 or 6 I guess), and the Visual C++ .NET tools are among them. So you can use the Code::Blocks environment without having to forfeit using a standard Microsoft compiler.
The Code::Blocks IDE also supports Source Control, something the Express versions don't.
