VS 2005 and ANSI
-
I have downloaded VS 2005,quite by accident. Than I discovered it would not compile MFC sample code (?!) Long time ago I spent my leisure time learning ANSI C. Read few articles about ANSI standards in C Users journal etc. VC++ 6.0 IDE works (most of the time) for my applications. So far I had no need to learn C#. As far as I am concerned VS 2005 looks like another derivative of VC++. My basic (and I feely admit naïve ) question is – are any of these – C#, VC ++ x.x supported by standards likes ANSI or others?

You've downloaded the express edition. It doesn't have MFC

It's a LONG way from the C++ standard tho.

Duh. It's another release in the same product line, what did you expect ? VC2002 was a major leap forward in standards compliance. VC2003 made some more steps. VC2005 had another 25 breaking changes ( that is, places where old code would no longer compile ) in order to move closer again to full standards compliance. C# has it's own standard, which the Microsoft compiler is, by definition, 100% compliant with. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Just curious how you could accidentally download several hundred MB of data.
