I have searched google for VS 2003 vs VS 2005 changes, but I've not found anything yet really... considering that VS 2005 is barely Beta right now.
I have used the Beta 1 of Visual Studio 2005 personally, and it sucks horribly. The install failed on several random occassions. When I finally got it installed, it was super slow. Of course, all of this is normal. It IS beta, after all!
I had a chance to temporarily test out the Intellisense for VS 2005. It doesn't seem to work any better than 2003. For example, member listing works poorly for accesses like this:
(*Iter)->NumObjects;
If 'Iter' here was a std::link::iterator, then it would display the members of std::link after the '->' instead of listing the objects for the data structure stored INSIDE of the list.
Anyone know any PROJECTED differences for the final version of 2005's intellisense?
Also, the dialog editor has been updated to support displaying windows xp themes. Yet, of the two modes you can use to align controls on a dialog (the ruler or dot grid), I use the grid. This grid aligns controls poorly in 2003, as when you resize the dialog in the editor, the 'dots' that make up the grid aren't spaced appropriately along the edges (has anyone else noticed this?). I had a chance to test this in 2005 beta1, and it still does the same thing.
I realize, once more, that 2005 is in beta stages... VERY EARLY beta stages. You can't expect much, but I WAS hoping for more differences in this first beta release.
Any comments welcome, I posted this thread to obtain information and also personal opinions. Thanks guys!
