Wanna write C++ in VS.NET

I admit it.

I love C#, and am about to get VS.net, but I also want to be able to write plain c++. Not managed c++, just plain-ole, no .NET C++. Is it possible with VS.NET, or should I have VS 6 for this?

Thanks,
Carole

MS would be shot if they removed standard C++ from VS.NET =). In fact, the compiler is much closer to the standard then VC6, so I hear.

Yeah, that's true... but then, MS has been accused of doing such things as well.

Thanks for the info.

It is :)

Wonderfully, I wrote up a load of code with GCC 3.0.1 under Linux, then transferred it to VC7 and there were only two problems:

1. I'd used strcasecmp which is only on POSIX (equivalent of stricmp).

2. I'd missed some iterators where I should have had const_iterators (VC7 picked up on them where GCC didn't ;))

Hey wow! MS got something right!! Did they even get something "righter" than gnu??? :eek:

Just that one they did ;)

Although GCC whomps it for all sorts of template trickery which only a mother (or Kedaman) could love :D

parksie, have you got the thing to link and work in windows?

No :(

I tried getting it working under Cygwin but it was having trouble installing. It compiled ok, and I could actually run the compiler on something, but it was completely lost for all its paths, and went extremely strange :confused:
