Description

VC 14 support was added in Gridserver 6.2 Hotfix 5 and is the latest supported VC compiler version as of Gridserver 6.2 Hotfix 13. Customers might want to use Visual Studio 2017 which is shipped with the VC 14.1.  

Issue/Introduction

Support information for Visual Studio 2017 on Gridserver 6.2

Environment

Microsoft Visual Studio 2017

Resolution

Using VS2017 tools works seemlessly with Gridserver VC14 drivers as long as Microsoft' s instruction are followed. Visual Studio toolset must be set to VS2015 in the project or "-vcvars_ver=14.00" must be passed in the command line scripting. No code change is required.

Note: This has only been tested with Gridserver 6.2.
