What level should I Upgrade to?

Question

Howdy…
 
I own a copy of Visual Studio 2008 STANDARD.
 
I have a need to make Class libraries (equivalent of DLL Libraries) that I can compile for both 32 bit and 64 bit environments.
 
My VS 2008 compiler does not offer me the necessary compile options to make what I need to do.  They are just, I believe, 32 bit only.
 
I know I need to buy a higher level version of VS 2008, but what level, to get the necessary compile options?

Answer 1

Strange, standard edition has  X64 libraries.

Anyway, this isn't a correct place to ask Visual C++ questions. Post to the Visual C++ General forum instead.

Hello Budjay,

This documentation should help for your sceanrio,

And the x64 compiler for Visual C++ should already be included in your standard version.
