the only c++/CLI compiler (that generates CIL which could run on many platforms) is the one from microsoft. other CLI implementations (like mono) do not provide c++ compiler support.
I think some Borland compilers will do that too.

Re: Which C++ complier to use

The Bloodshed Dev C++ is an IDE. It uses MinGW (GCC).

I personally like the GCC.
Stroustrup likes the Microsoft C++.
Borland C++ is good too (but not always the best at standards-compliance).

Enjoy.

I would like the community to advice as to which compiler is the most popular and if it can be used with .net so that once I develop an application I would like to to be portable to different platforms.
.NET only works on windows and you need to use Visual Studio for it

you dont need to use the visual studio environment for .NET but it sure does make coding a hell of a lot easier

Well, that's the only official way of running it. .NET is actually just a runtime environment, similar to Java, and in theory you could run it on just about any platform (provided you had an implementation of the .NET runtime environment). On Linux, Mono is usually used to run .NET applications.

Re: Which C++ complier to use

it may be worthwhile to clarify some terminology:
the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) is an open specification (published under ECMA-335 and ISO/IEC 23271). Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, and others worked to standardize CLI (2000) and it was ratified by the ECMA, with ISO standardization later (2003). CLI is a specification, not an implementation; it defines a virtualized execution-environment, a common type system and a common language specification that allows multiple high-level languages to be used on different computer platforms without being rewritten for specific architectures.

CLR (Common Language Runtime) is microsoft's implementation of CLI (and contains extensions outside the CLI specification). the .Net Framework and the .NET Compact Framework (for portable devices) are two CLR implementations. microsoft has two other CLI implementations; Silverlight (for use in web browsers on windows and Mac OS X) and Shared Source Common Language Infrastructure (a reference implementation of CLI available under the shared source licensing program).

two non-microsoft open source implementations are Mono (an implementation of CLI and accompanying technologies, championed by Novell) and Portable.NET (from GNU, part of the dotGNU project).
