   Upgraded to Visual Studio .NET 2003 Pro?
  Just bought it...I''ve heard there is good support for non-managed c++, but I also heard there is no ClassWizard, and that non-managed project can''t use the GUI resource editor to create resources (at least not as easily as in VC6). It''s a big commitment ($$) so if anyone has an opinion on this, I''d like to hear it.   Brian JDL Vacuum - A media file organizer I made | Mumbling Miles - A band I was the guitarist/vocalist for 
  It still has a dialog editor and resource editor for unmanaged projects. You don''t get to use the forms designer that is available to managed projects, that''s true, but that was hardly to be expected anyway.

Am I mistaken? Does the c++ .net have an mfc equivalent resource editor and dialog/forms designer for unmanaged c++? I'm getting confused by this.

I see. How does that make you feel? ;  Thanks, that made it clearer. Incidentally, while looking at c# stuff at ms site I found a link to http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/ .net IDE tool in case anyone is interested. Looks promising. ;  Supposedly they are working on WinForm support for managed C++.quote:bjmumblingmiles  Just bought it...I''ve heard there is good support for non-managed c++, but I also heard there is no ClassWizard, and that non-managed project can''t use the GUI resource editor to create resources (at least not as easily as in VC6).

There''s no ClassWizard, when you go to the properties of an dialog object, there''s a list of favorite messages and events that you can assign handlers to.  If you are making a dialog, it''s easier, if you are making an SDI/MDI app, it''s slightly harder (maybe just different, so it seems harder to someone used to the old way).  The Delphi & BCB default/favorite mode (and now .Net too I guess) is free-floating dialog-like windows.  I can''t think of a single popular application that works like this (well Delphi and BCB I guess)...  mIRC is an MDI and Excel or Word are SDIs. ;quote:The Delphi & BCB default/favorite mode (and now .Net too I guess) is free-floating dialog-like windows.

VS.NET 2003 has a forms editor for MC++ and WinForms. 2002 didn''t. ;  Well it sure does; would you look at that, I never notice before.
