How would I got about setting up MinGW (GCC) for MSVC++ .NET?

Is MinGW a library? If so you add the libraries in the "Additional Dependencies" in the Linker options.

It's like a whole compiling system...

I talked to some people at school the other day, and you have to buy special extensions from Microsoft to use other compilers, and I think it's only the compilers they want you to use. So to hell with that.

Yeah. You're best off sticking with some other text editor (EditPlus comes to mind) if you're going to work with MinGW. Yes, Visual Studio .NET does have a nice interface. I do like it. But, it really is Microsoft's compiler and that 's it. I, too, tried to fiddle with using another compiler and I failed too.

Actually I'll just use Dev-C++ (http://devshed.net).

There's probably some way. If you were really desperate to make it work without their kit to use separate compilers, you could make your own program which interprets the options sent to the .NET compiler, rewrites them as understood by MinGW, and passes them along, that is, replace the .NET compiler with a sort of translation layer. I'm too sleepy to completely explain what I'm saying, and you'd really be better off just using a separate IDE because it'd be a lot of work; you'd have to also take MinGW's output and send it back to .NET; all in all it'd be a lot of work. Blah incoherency.
