Will there be a C++.net?

[Guv]

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.

C++.NET is part of VS 2005.

Also, this should be in General Developer Forum, not Codebank

Have you looked at C# in the .NET framework?

C++.NET is part of VS 2005.

And VS .NET 2003....

[penagate]

Yup, but in 2005 it is more .NET than 2003, or something...

Hehe..yeah...and in 2003 it is more .NET then in VS .NET (no idea when the first one actualy came out...don't think it even had a year assosiated to the name... )

It didn't. It was just Visual Studio .NET and I don't even remember what was in it. I think it was around 2001, but I couldn't swear to that.

'02 I think.

I only made the comment because I read that in .NET 2005 C++ becomes a full .NET language. However the article may have been a load of trash, I don't know.

The first version was just VS.NET and came out in 2002.

And using VC++.NET in Visual Studio is simply a pain. I prefer . to ->

So is there gonna be a C++ net? I though C# was just the next step in evolution for Visual C++.

There will always be a non-.NET C++, because managed code is slower and larger. I'm not sure how much you will gain with a true C++.NET over either C# or VB.NET.
