About x64 question

Hi,

I am interesting about the VB 2005 pro can compile the exe or dll to x64 format file. Is it can deliver the file to fully real x64 file? Because I read the previous post say that the IDE is 32bits. Is it true? Can debug x64 file? And, can it create the exe or dll file to x64 format using 32bits window.

Thanks!

Yes, although a 32-bit app, it can generate assemblies that are marked to be JIT compiled for 64-bit CPUs. Build + Configuration Manager. Click the Platform combobox, click <New...> and select x64.

Unless you have 32bit native dependencies, you probably want to keep your target as AnyCPU. This will allow the application will run as a 64bit app on a 64 bit machine and 32bit on a 32bit machine.

Debugging is also possible, but I believe there are some limitations (i.e. Edit & continue isn't supported on 64bit systems)

Best regards,
