I stumbled across this useful article about assembly programming within Visual Studio 2010/2012 at CodeProject: Assembly Programming with Visual Studio 2010/2012, Sept. 2012 (http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/271627/Assembly-Programming-with-Visual-Studio-2010-2012).
The author states that the Microsoft MASM Assembler is now distributed with Visual Studio (Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Studio 2012).
The example code is very poor. Why did he choose an encoding\ecoding program as a preliminary tutorial?
QuoteYou have to include the related MASM libraries in your project in order to use the above mentioned functions. In this project, include the masm32rt.inc file in the \masm32\include\ folder as it is stated in the 'include' statement of the source code (it is distributed with MASM and you will also find it in the zip file from this site).
And masm32rt.inc is indeed the only file in the archive... dear Palavos must have a complete Masm32 installation, otherwise his proggie wouldn't work, but I suspect he never looked inside masm32rt.inc :icon_mrgreen:
