Hello,

I'm new to this board and new to Fortran and FTN95 but not so new to programming and .NET (I'm regularily writing smaller programs in C# and VB.Net).

I'm experimenting for some days with FNT95 and i have trouble with VS2008.

1. If I create a project with Plato and oben it with VS2008 later (which happens easily when you double click on it), the Plato project is destroyed. It is only usable in the form of the VS2008 solution.
2. When I try to make reference to anything (dll, lib, .net or win32) in VS2008, as soon as I click "add" in the dialog box, VS2008 crashes immediately. References set in Plato and then imported with the project to VS2008 work.
3. When I start debugging in VS2008, after the Nagscreen disappears there appears a little window that says something about "debugger control". It disappears so fast, that I can't read it completely. It has a "Pause" button on it, but I can't hit it, bedore the window disappears. Then opens a "Tip of the day" window and a black console window. That's it. Nothing more happens. When I hit one of the VS2008 debugger buttons, the project tries to recompile (what is impossible because the target binary is running).

Prolem 3 is solved (caused by invalid compiler options).

Problem 2 is narrowed: VS2008 only crashes when I try to link to Fortran Libs/dlls. Other dlls are accepted. If I make references to the projects that build the dlls , it works without problems.

Problem 1 is irrelevant if VS2008 works.

Could you please confirm exactly when VS crashes when adding a reference and steps to reproduce it. I have not been able to reproduce this, and what is odd is that that you can add other DLLs, as there is no real difference as to how VS deals with them.
