Hey guys I got an interesting one for you. I made this windows form, and although it runs pretty will on my computer, it refuses to run on any w/out .NET 2.0 Framework. My question is, what may be causing this? I have had library selection trouble in the past, but none of those seem to help. Heres the header:

#pragma once
#include<iomanip>
#include<time.h>

namespace Program {

using namespace System;
using namespace System::ComponentModel;
using namespace System::Collections;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
using namespace System::Data;
using namespace System::Drawing;

This was compiled using Visual Studio, don't know much about what the #'s are besides the ones I put in. (Im a CSE 100 student and all we are doing is DOS stuff). OK, so thats where we stand. I am using /MD for the runtime library and /clr:pure as the other thingy. I tried /MT like in the DOS ones we had to make, but that made me change the clr, and that made my program not compile. Any ideas?

Since you wrote your application using Microsofts managed C++, so it will require the .NET Framework in order to run on any computer.

One of the drawbacks to using .NET is that you must have the Framework installed on any computer that you want to run your application on.

Ok, so any suggestions for a recompile/fix/conversion/etc?

One suggestion is to not use any of the .NET stuff (such as all the stuff in the System namespace).

what other namespace would I use then?

You'd have to use the standard C++ equivalents, or ensure that each client machine will have the framework.

Anywhere that would have the information on the equivalencies? using namepace std doesnt work, it says no std namespace exists (and we usually use std in class). This is getting into some things that I have no knowledge about, so any help would be greatly apprecieved. Assuming there is another namespace for String^, woudl the standard one require me to re-code the whole thing?

Not all methods or objects available in managed C++ will be available in standard C++ (although you can make equivalents). the standard C++ string opbject is located in the string header:

Keep in mind that the standard C++ string object is not the same as the managed C++ string object.

Lol, this simple side project is becoming a monster. Ok lets try a different approach... anyway to compress the .NET files with it to maybe make it work? Or possibly install a downgraded .NET using the .exe I created?

Or, is there a website that maps out the std and System:: namespaces and that could possibly help?
