2005 or not 2005, that is the question?

Sounds like 2003 w/ Visual Assist to me. :suss: ~Nitron.

We're unlikely to move to it for our mainstream C++ projects until SP1 is out, although I am consdering moving ResOrg to it in order to get some more detailed experience of the platforms performance with C++ projects. However, any ASP.NET, C# or XSLT work we do is likely to be under VS2005 for obvious reasons.

VA or VS2005? regards, Paul Watson Ireland Colib and ilikecameras. K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

Which costs an extra $129 per developer (we get VS2005 in our MSDN sub.) I don't use VA, gave it a bash once but it didn't feel integrated enough. So now I get all the useful VA functionality as part of the IDE and firmly integrated. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Colib and ilikecameras.

Do you have separate subs for you and Brian? or do you both use the DVDs from that one single sub? I found out a while ago that an MSDN sub is for a single developer - so if you both are using it, technically it'd fall under piracy. Most people don't know this I think. Many small companies in India use 1 sub with 5-6 devs. Regards, Nish

Which is odd advice at best. Winter, especially wet Mondays, is the best time to buy a car as the dealerships are more interested in negotiating with you than they would be in the spring or summer when the demand is higher.

tee hee - damn straight.....even firing up 2k3 gives me the willies lol....though it would be nice if the Visual Studio version selector actually gave the option of opening in 2K3 for a 2K3 project file, rather than just blasting it stright into 2K5 then moaning that it's a 2K3 project....or perhaps I'm missing the point - perhaps stupidly assumed that a "version selector" would allow me to "select" a "version" of VS to use..... On the plus side - don't think I could live without "Surround With" now - saved my bacon more than a few times :D "Now I guess I'll sit back and watch people misinterpret what I just said......"

For native C++ development? Pros: improved debugger (especially Call browser) and somewhat improved compiler (nothing dramatical, though) Cons: Slow and unstable IDE, stupid "security" warnings, and STL appears to be slower. However, if you do any XSLT, you should install VC2005 without any hesitations.

My programming blahblahblah blog. If you ever find anything useful here, please let me know to remove it.

hehe indeed. Though I was just being facetious about half of Ireland. I just meant we have a load of licenses (and the funny bit is only two devs in the whole company use Microsoft dev products (Brian and I.) The rest are Java/C++/etc. heads.) regards, Paul Watson Ireland Colib and ilikecameras. K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

BTW, I found a nasty resource editor bug in VS2005 the other day - basically, trying to change the language of a resource to "English (USA)" adds a duff entry to the .rc file, so it won't compile! Waiting for SP1 is probably a good idea.

When I moved to the US in 2000 I purchased a 12 year old Ford Mustang! Coming from Europe that was the car to buy! You should buy a Canadian car .... wait ... never mind. After I drove it to the ground, I purchased a BIG SUV! Al

VS2005 of course.
