Upgrade advantages from Visual C++ 6.0
-
I've have Visual C++ 6.0 from awhile back. I'm planning to do more programming again (haven't done much the past 10 years). Should I upgrade to some newer Version of C++. If so, which one and what are the advantages? Thanks!

I advise you so. the VC++6 compiler was written before the C++ standard got official, so it's not really compliant. since then, VS2003 made a good improvement, but if you can get a copy of VS2008, feel free to. be be aware that you won't be able to do MFC with the Express version.

I you like the good old wizard with "Ctrl+W" you should stay with VC6. :(( :(( :(( But the newer version of the VS have real advantages, the good better. The worst was 2001 (IMHO: S**t). :mad: I did never used it. 2003 so half good, 2005 fine and 2008 also a better feel and work. The 2008 has the advantage to work fine on and for Vista and 64-bit, do manifest-stuff seamlessly and code completation is really better. Also C-Language is more 'compliant'. But the help got a little confusing :~ => stick to 2008 to be up to date
