...just read through the list of bug fixes, and i'm not seeing much. The "IDE quits unexpectedly" and "optimizer generates access violations" ones maybe, but i run into those on very rare occasions. How 'bout fixes for Intellisense? Or that bug that trashes .opt and .ncb files? *sigh*... will be sooo glad once we get our main app moved to VS.NET How do you move in a world of fog, That's always changing things? Makes me wish that i could be a dog, When i see the price that you pay.

Was that sarcasm? ;) Seriously though. As it stands now, I just can't make the jump to .NET because of the bloated framework distribution I would need to couple with my application. This latest SP is a pleasant upgrade to tide me over until the .NET framework becomes more widely adopted. Jim QTExtender - The OFFICIAL addon for QuoteTracker.
You can use Visual Studio.NET 2003 to develop native C++ applications - no need for .NET framework. The benefits include: better C++ compiler (98% ISO compliant), fixed Standard Library (STL that ships with VC6 is broken) and arguably better IDE (Intellisense actually works with VS.NET). The downside may be the lack of Class Wizard - that is if you think Class Wizard is useful (I don't).

:laugh: I agree 100%, but some people don't.

Nemanja Trifunovic wrote: The downside may be the lack of Class Wizard I have the original VC.NET and there are many downsides. A lot of code was broken by the new compiler and the GUI is very buggy are my second and third after loosing the class wizard. Also the folder feature in the class view is gone. And why does the compiler not support current processors? I mean there are no settings for using MMX or SIMD. John

Damn, my two pet peeves aren't there : - static controls of bitmap type are assign literal ID numbers instead of the IDB_ macro. - resource.h can't BE a dependency. There is no IS_DEPENDENCY flag. Oh well, it's still WAAAAY better than .NYET as far as I am concerned. __________________________________________ a two cent stamp short of going postal.
