I am considering learning to use Visual C++ after learning to use Visual Basic.net MY Visual studio includes C++ 6.0, but I have only used VB 6.0

If there is going to be a similar upgrade from C++ to C++.net or whatever, it seems worthwhile to wait.

BTW: VB.net seems to have some significant improvements, but seems to have dropped a few nice features (like fixed length strings). Some of the syntax and other changes seem annoying with little or no gain in utility.
