This could have gone in the .Net forum as well but this seems the better place to ask the question. Is Visual C++ being replaced by C# ? I'm not saying C# will replace C++ but will MS be replacing it in Visual Studio ?

In Beta 1, you have the choice 0f C# or C++ (with or without "managed extensions"). I had no problem writing and compiling a simple Win32 app with it.
yeah, if microsoft cans c++ alltogether, a ton of people will be really pissed.
Why?Quote:

MS aren't going to can C++. They can't. Just because MS doesn't make a C++ compiler doesn't mean people can't make their own, or use GCC.
Also, remember that .NET is a framework. This means that calls to ANY class inside it MUST go through to the Win32 API - this means that raw C and C++ code straight for Windows will nearly always be smaller, faster, and more efficient.
MS can't and won't redesign the entire Win32 API. Just look at how much of Windows 3 is still in the 9x series.

I agree with sail. .NET seems to be more for the benefit of MS than for the programmers.

I'm talking about in the future. What I meant was, if MS stop supporting VC++ then there are others you can use.
Oh. Your point is very true. Another great compiler for C++ is DevC++. Just like MSVC++.
borland makes a great compiler too, and it's free!
DevC++ is also free, I forgot to mention that:D
c# it's a bad language....all tell me that. Why they keep continue to work on it !
is dev ASCII compliant though?
hey DaoK, post what you think about C# in my thread: http://161.58.186.97/showthread.php?s=&threadid=107843
ok i will do it.
It pretty much HAS to be...or do you mean ANSI compliant? ;)Quote:
