Building native Windows applications in Visual Studio 2022

Exciting, but wondering, what happened to C++, it's not C++ anymore.

I am trying build a project using azure pipeline -
- task: CmdLine@2
inputs:
script: 'choco install microsoft-build-tools-2013 -y'

- task: MSBuild@1
inputs:
solution: '**/xyz_encoder.sln'
msbuildArchitecture: 'x86'
configuration: 'Release'
msbuildArguments: '/p:PlatformToolset="12.0" /p:VisualStudioVersion="12.0" /p:VCTargetsPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160"'
msbuildLocationMethod: 'location'
msbuildLocation: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\MSBuild\\12.0\\Bin\\MSBuild.exe'

Note: Not found V120, So I am using this, but getting error.
using /p:VCTargetsPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160" since

Error:
##[error]C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160\Microsoft.Cpp.props(31,5): Error MSB4186: Invalid static method invocation syntax: "[Microsoft.Build.Utilities.ToolLocationHelper]::FindRootFolderWhereAllFilesExist($(_VCTargetsPathFolders), $(_RelativeToolsetFiles))". Method 'Microsoft.Build.Utilities.ToolLocationHelper.FindRootFolderWhereAllFilesExist' not found. Static method invocation should be of the form: $([FullTypeName]::Method()), e.g. $([System.IO.Path]::Combine(`a`, `b`)).

how can I fix this?

The C++ language is being ruined by all of this ridiculous complexity. I have written my own random number generators in C++98. No problems. Ive been a C++ Windows application developer for 25 years and never needed this stuff. There is elegance in simplicity. Sadly, the language is losing its elegence :(

I personally use JavaScript, so how do I run a JS program directly on windows 11? (Without it needing to be opened in a browser)

ANYONE HERE THAT CAN ACTUALLY PROGRAM!? AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL

DOES THIS NEW IMPROVED VISUAL STUDIO PACKAGE COME WITH HOW TO PROGRAM THE MICROSOFT WAY DOCUMENTATION. OR IS IT STILL A FIND CODE ON THE INTERNET THAT YOU CAN USE BECAUSE WE AT MICROSOFT CAN'T COMBINE WINDOWS PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES WITH OTHER PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES LIKE C OR BASIC OR ASSEMBLY. AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL

Ano to je přesně ten případ kdy Microsoft pohřbil fungující vizuální aplikaci a udělal z toho textoví hnůj pro profesionály a zamezil amatérům si cokoliv udělat sami . Pamatuji časy kdy to bylo opravdu vizuál a apky se tvořili nativně bez editace skriptu . Ostatně stejným způsobem pohřbili Microsoft Access . Dobrá práce Microsoft jste hrobníky aplikací . Tak že si to od vás nekoupím a budu používat produkty , které o vizuální rozhraní výrobce neošidil . Je to prostě hnůj .

Visual studio 2019 is changed vs2022 because c++, that is puzzling.

Thankyou very much what about reports and report viewer in visual studio 2022

코드는 C++ 인데 뭔가 너무 바뀌어서 보면서 당황했네요. 근데 C++ 말고 C도 핫로딩되겠죠.

Thanks for the overview. I plan to start using modules when we upgrade to VS2022, so it's great to see a little bit of an introduction to them.
Also, I'm dying/excited to use co-routines.

So, basically if you need anything with a UI use a 3rd party library or buy C++Builder and use that? I know MFC is still there, but that library is quite out of step with the rest of Windows and the ecosystem as a whole. Windows Forms is still CPU Bound. WPF is still an overengineered mess of complexity requiring you to be a XAML Wizard on top of everything else. Is C++/CLI still even supported? I know they don't have designer support for [Managed] C++ anymore.

Very useful, thanks!

Nice overview and demo. Didn't expect the embedded tutorial on vcpkg and modules when I clicked on this video ;) Thx.

I said to myself, I will watch only 5min, as I'm getting late to sleep
After a while, I heard, Thank you so much for watching...

It was one of the most interesting and informative of the talks I've ever heard!

Really excited to download and start using this. It seems the intellisense has been fixed over issues with C++20 compiling. I have to really test and find out, but it's been a bit hard to make the switch in 2019 because intellisense really started to whack out, and I'd have to either turn it off or just deal with it. Mind you, the program would build sure, but when little things like code completion wouldn't work anymore because the intellisense was complaining that something didn't exist or I was missing some include, and it started breaking the colorization of my code as well, it was really effecting my flow. Cannot wait to test this and see the improvements!

Why C++ wants to be Pythonic Like? :(

Excited for reflection TS!
