Visual C++ .NET Standard 2003

Visual C++ .NET Standard 2003

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Visual C++.NET Standard 2003 is the most powerful and flexible of Microsoft's programming tools. Using the industry-standard C++ language, developers can target both old-style native code Windows applications for maximum performance and the new .NET Framework, to take advantage of the high productivity and rich class library that it offers. Native and managed .NET code can even be mixed in the same project.

Visual C++.NET Standard 2003 includes the Visual Studio development environment, featuring an array of visual tools and wizards. The supplied libraries include the Microsoft Foundation Classes, for native Windows applications, and the Active Template Library, for high performance COM components. The programming environment is slick, with convenient features like docking and tabbed windows, project wizards, auto-completion and pop-up help in the code editor.

This is the Standard edition, which is primarily intended for learning. Although it has all you need to create both Windows and Web applications, the compiler is non-optimising. Professional developers should consider Visual Studio.NET Professional Edition 2003, which includes a more advanced version of Visual C++ as well as the other .NET languages such as Visual C# and Visual Basic.

Those familiar with earlier versions of Visual C++ will find a number of significant new features. The ability to target the .NET Framework was in Visual C++ 2002, but this 2003 version includes a visual form designer for the first time, enabling rapid development of Windows applications. Another key feature is improved standards compliance, enabling the use of most standard C++ libraries and making it easier to write code that compiles for other platforms such as Unix as well as for Windows. Overall, Visual C++.NET Standard 2003 is an excellent choice both for students learning C++ and for programmers creating high-performance Windows or .NET applications. --Tim Anderson

4.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate development environment, 20 Jun 2003
By Calum Grant "calumg" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I upgraded to this from Visual Studio 6.0 Pro, and have been using Visual C++ for over 8 years. However, in the blurb it said "new compiler optimizations", even for the standard version, so I thought this was an optimising compiler. It is not, you have to buy the full version of Studio for that, which is expensive. Or better still, plug in an Intel compiler. As a lone developer, why is there no "Visual C++ .NET Pro" product offered - I program in C++, why on earth would I wish to purchase Visual Basic, I don't even use the Microsoft databases, and I frankly don't even need .NET.

I managed to convert my existing MFC projects with a minimum of fuss. The development environment is much improved, with many of the floating toolboxes now docked into toolbars. The new tabbed window display is also a joy to use. Even the help is now integrated into the main workspace, and has been much tidied up. And the code browsing is all nicely integrated, if sometimes slow. Errors now appear as a "task list", which also doubles as a todo list. One little shock is that the editor is now folding, which I have not really needed yet.

This is by far the slickest development environment I have ever used. It's also pretty cheap for what you get, though I'll have to revert to my old compiler to generate production code.

I have not needed to play with the .NET features yet, but as a design principle it seems like an excellent idea. Most people will only need a fraction of the technology featured here. The danger with using Visual C++ (and any Microsoft product) is that you'll get locked into Microsoft forever, as will your clients. It's too easy to slate Microsoft, they have piles of money to throw into development, and know the importance of a good user interface.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beginers Choice, 10 Jan 2005
By Mr. Gr Papworth "superchiefsoftware" (Hereford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am learning c++ at the moment. I have been using some command line tools to write my programs but it has been troublesome. I used a demonstration version of this software and found it to be the best possible piece of kit around.
It is cheap and cost effective, perfect for people starting out in c++.
The fact that you are able to compile normal ansii c++ code and not just .net is brilliant.
Top marks to microsoft
