VisualC++.Net

[Drew]

What is VisualC++.Net used for? Is the code similiar to Visual C++ 6.0?

[Brad Jones]

Visual C++.NET is version 7.0 of Visual C++. It will add a number of new features including:

- Managed Extensions
- ATL Server
- Ability to call Web Services

Plus upgrades to:

- MFC/ATL
- Attributes
- Compiler
- Conformance
- IDE and debugger productivity

I'll be attending Tech Ed next week. I'll see if I can get someone on the VC++ team to write a summary of changes that we can post.

Can I upgrade my compiler to Visual C++ 7? I have Visual C++ 6.0.

[Brad Jones]

All indications are that Visual C++ 6 will be totally upgradeable to Visual C++.NET (version 7).

Visual C++.NET is currently in beta. Beta 1 has been released to the public. Beta 2 is being given to people at Microsoft's Tech Ed conference next week, so I'm assuming it will be publicly available soon. I've been working with the betas of Visual Studio (which includes VC++.NET). I don't recommend putting the software on any machine that you value. It is beta software.

Links for the beta 1 software have been posted to the CodeGuru site. If you are not already playing with it, then I suggest waiting for beta 2.

I've not been given any final public dates for the released product other than "later this year". I'd speculate fall at the earliest.
