Question about the new features in VS.Net 2003
-
I've just got the special upgrade from version 2002 to version 2003. 1.) Is that possible to install the 2003 over 2002's directory, so that I will not have two Visual Studio.Net? When I installed it, it asked me where do I want to install, I installed it in a new directory. So I ended up with VS.Net 2002 and 2003 coexist. If I install the 2003 in the same directory where 2002 is, does that mean it will overwrite the 2002, so it will end up just 2003? (I don't need 2002 anymore) Which one do you recommand? How did you do it? 2.) Once I installed the upgrade, I found that the new feature in VC++ allows you to hide and show code(the + and - sign) very annoying. Is there a way to disable it?

I recommend installing Visual Studio .NET 2003 in its default directory. That will allow you to have multiple versions of developer studio. Now, if you wanted to use the 2003 version only, then I highly recommend that you uninstall the older version before installing 2003. Kuphryn

Concerning the second question. The oulining (the + and -)is availabe in version 2002 as well but it's not enabled by default. To control this in 2002 you should go to Tools|Options then in the options dialog go to Text Editor->C/C++->Formatting and check or uncheck the Outlining option. I dont know if there is a difference between the options dialog in 2002 and 2003 but I hope this could help.
