VC++ 2003 .NET
-
Hello, I am thinking of getting either a VC++ 2003 .NET or VC++ 6. I have to write an FTP application that would work on the internet. I will very much appreciate if somebody could tell me what would be the best platform for this application: VC++ 2003 .NET or VC++ 6? And, if it is VC++ 2003, could somebody please tell me how adding handlers works in this platform? Thank you, Victor.

You may as well get the more up-to-date version. VC++ 2003 will do everything that VC++ 6 does plus more. If you intend to use MFC then you should be aware that ClassWizard is no longer present but the online help explains how to add event handlers. Many think that the new way is less usable than the old way but, nevertheless, the functionality and features of the framework, as opposed to the IDE, are richer. Kevin

You might want to investigate the differences between the Standard and Professional editions though. You can get the Standard Edition by itself. But for the Professional Edition, you have to purchase the entire Visual Studio 2003 (or use the free command line compiler with no IDE! :((). I don't know whether this is an issue for you or not. I'm not entirely sure what you lose if you just get VC++ 2003 Standard but I'm sure there must be a feature matrix somewhere. Kevin

I believe the major difference is that the professional version is able to perform more code optimizations than standard. I personally have had no problem with the standard version.
