[PIC] PIC Compiler for PIC16LF1786 (ICSP)

[at89atbits]

Hi I am new to Micro controller programming and would like some intel on various compilers available and ways to program the micro controller.

I have tried programming PIC16F877A with the basic codes using Micro C for PIC as compiler and PIC Flash for burning the code.
But they don't have libraries for every PIC controller.
I am looking for more extensive solution which can be used for every micro controller possible.

I have read about MPLAB IDE and XC series of compilers and also PICKIT but I don't have working knowledge of any of those.

I am interested in doing ICSP and the controller I am using for my present project is PIC16LF1786.
However general information about various compilers would be appreciated.

hello

PIC16LF1786 MCU . is in the list of MikroC Pro V6.4.0 !
but i don't see this device in my Pickit3 JAM version 01.28.56.08 RS: 01.15.39 AP 01.13.06.05
or in my Pickit2 ???

Maybe OK in the New MPLAB XC8 ?
