    How to know the C++ version in Visual Studio 2005, rather VC++. I am little confused here because VC++ in Visual Studio 2005 is called as VC8, but would like to know the actual C++ compiler version. I read it as version 14 somewhere but I don't know how to read from the code. Thanks

      A quick way would be running CL.EXE form the Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt. By chance here I've the 2005: it gives "Version 14.00.50727.42" :)

        _MSC_VER is your friend - it's a preprocessor define. Cheers, Ash
