If I compile a C++ sorce code (resorces and all the works) whit a free , compiler , would I get the same result as using the fancy Visual Basic C++ to compile it ? . Look , I know it's easyer to use the Visual Basic , but stick to the question , ok . Would the end result be the same ?

It's Visual Basic C++ 8.0

The end result may be the same (your code runs), but it may compile differently. Meaning, in VC++ it may be more efficient, or you may use different libraries, and have more options to write your code more efficiently. The benefits of VC++ over the freebee compiler is more flexibility, and the ability to write more complex code (using the libraries) than with the freebee.
To answer your question with one word though, I would say yes.
I just noticed you said visual basic, but I think you meant visual C++ since you are asking about C++. Visual Basic is another language, so no you cant compile C++ code with a visual basic compiler.

I don't think that you can compile a C++ project in Visual Basic. You can do it in Visual C++, Borland C++ (old environment) or like you said in a free compiler that understands the C++ language. Also I think that you could use Visual C++ .NET but there you might get a different result because it uses the .NET technology. In the other environments you should get the same result since the C++ compilers must follow the same rules for compiling C++ source code. Also depending on the project you might or you might not use some compilers.

No, VB compiles into something that calls its own runtime for stuff that you would otherwise write yourself in C++
