Compilers, which one?

Hey guys, ive been programming for a while and im just getting involved in directX. I have VC++ studio edition, but i use DevC++ ( a freeware compiler) because i dont like VC++. The only problem is that DEVC++ dosnt support directX stuff. Im looking for a nice either freeware or inexpensive <= $100 compiler that is windows based and supports directX development. Let me know what you like to use. Thanks, ~Eric

Borland C++ Command line tools is available for free. Check out www.borland.com for more info.
Personally, I like VC++ a great deal. I use 6.0. It comes with an IDE and debugger that are both great and save me a lot a time.

Codewarrior 5.3 is pretty good. Not yet 100% ansi compliant, though so if you plan heavy use of templates, you might want to try something else.

Also, I believe that gcc has a Windows port. You should check at cygnus.

Be reading you,

Not sure about Borland stuff - it probably allows interfacing with DirectX, but that CodeWarrior thingiemadjing, does it support COM?
