      Visual C++ .NET 2003 and Visual C++ 2005 are two (almost) completely different languages. the 2005 version cleans the syntax up A LOT and is called C++/CLI. The express edition should be compatible with any recent SDK's. I recommend downloading 2005 since it's free, and it makes it a lot easier to target the .NET platform Thanks, John

        thanks a lot, So... I was hesitating as I earlier kept the Visual C++.Net. In fact up to this month, Visual C++ 6.0 was offering the advantage to provide a lot of tips..etc.. as well as books, references. Instaed than VC++.Net stayed almost without publication and not so much referenced. So,as an expert, your advice would be to jump on Visual C++ Express Edition 2005 [ even if beta version] and programming with C++ is fine. However, programming Windows changes a lot, requires SDK and Direct X 9 are a plus . And this is the end of VC++ 6 ( a pity honestly if we consider the difficulties to convert from VC++ 6) thanks a lot Regards TPP
