View Full Version : Is the Visual Studio Addon and Qt Creator Completely Compatible (which is better)

Are there any common problems people run into when they take a project built with Creator and load it into Visual Studio 2008. Is there a database of problems.

Does the Qt Visual Studio 2008 addon just allow me to use Qt from Visual Studio.

Also, how does one go about loading a Creator-built project into Visual Studio 2008.

(Do you have any preferences on the two IDEs, why. I code for a living.)

Thank you,
Chris L.

Qt Creator creates Qt projects using the standard qmake PRO text file to define them. You should be able to use that without issue with the VS plugin. I cannot vouch for transfers in the opposite direction.

IDE specific settings, custom build or run environments, breakpoints, current working files etc., are not part of the project and are stored separately by both Qt Creator and VS.
