VS6, VS.NET & VS.NET 2003
-
I've spent a lot of time recently trying to migrate a LARGE - 80 project, 200 MB source code - workspace from VC6 to VS.NET 2003. It hasn not been a fun experience; maybe I'm looking in the wrong place for stuff, but it annoys that what was a very good GUI has been broken. Anyway, the point is that I can't find a VS IDE section on CP so that people can post hints on how to migrate, and the explore new features that are hidden in there - I can't be the only one going through this pain ! So Chris, pls pls pls can we have one ! Thanks

;Sigh :-( Yes, 80 projects is kinda stupid to have in one workspace / solution. However, we are burdened with lots of old code that we don't have the resouce to "rationalise" at the moment. At a rough guess we could probably get rid of about a 3rd of it. Even worse, some projects which are massively templated have started generating internal compiler errors in VS.NET. I've tracked this down in at least one case to sloppy coding where an operator=() method was declared on a templated class with no return type, but it's a needle in a haystack to find. Thanks

VC7 picks up on things that VC6 let pass. I've seen some shockers from some code I inherited where I'm surpised the thing worked properly. Only noticed them when I upgraded. You can tell once you start using it the compiler in VC7 is a big improvement, though people tend to pass over this and start complaining about the class wizard not being there. Now I've used it I much prefer the new method.

I have this problem with templates that use forward-declared classes. None of them compiled, until I workarounded it passing the class as a template parameter with a default (uglier seeing than only talking).
