Review title: I&#65533;ve got a headache
Product review: While users new to C++ might be enchanted with Visual C++ .NET, those of us who have been programming with VC++ for years will be disgusted. Visual C++ has been relegated to a the same tier held by FoxBASE. All of the new .NET examples are in C# or VB.Thankfully, I downloaded the evaluation copy, and didn't purchase the non-refundable software.The first thing I noticed was that the Visual Studio IDE has been entirely rewritten.The Visual Studio C++ class wizard is gone. Yes. Gone. You will have to spend time (and a large amount of it) to relearn how to add events, message handlers, and otherwise get up to speed with the VB-ish property window.Granted, this version does have better ANSI standards compliance, better support for templates, and some optimizations.If you only need to write native C++ code, pass on this product.
