About C++ in .net

[tppradeep18]

Can somebody tell me what happened to C++ in .net. what is it called . Is C# is a replacement for C++ or both are existing as different product under .net.

I think ...

That C# is more like Java, based on C language for C developers to write code for the net in a java style. As I understand it, you can still write C++ (although as with VB the way you write it 'll be different).

I thought C++ in VS.Net was the same standard C++ or Win32 API C++ you could do all along?

[tppradeep18]

what is the new name for VC++ in .net. VC++ .net or ????

[alex_read]

It's still VC++ (shows when you try to create a new app - Visual Basic Project, VC++ Project etc).

Josh, I meant it is the sameas the standard VC++, though you have to take into conisderation that there are extra bits you gotta learn - like with VB.Net I can't just type Msgbox "Hello World"

[tumblingdown]

The new VC++ is called "Managed C++".

Managed c++? Oh man, why are their names getting more and more retarded?:D

[parksie]

Nope. It's because you get garbage-collection features :) However, the advantage is that you only get them if you ASK for them :) If you don't use any #using directives and you avoid Managed classes, the programs seem to run okay on other systems (not sure though).
