MSDN: Overlap between v 2003 and 2005

_B
I'm trying to clear space on a laptop drive (80GB goes fast!) for
loading Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2. I understand that 2005b2 will
cooperate with VS2003, so I'd like to keep VS2003 around just in case.

I think I do need to load MSDN 2005 cause I'd like to get up to speed
on C++/CLI. I have a lot of old managed/unmanaged (layered) C++ code
that wraps legacy DLLs for access via C#. I'd like to take a crack at
rewriting in C++/CLI, but documentation is sparse. So I think I need
MSDN 2005.

I figured I could unload the 2003 MSDN if VS2003 can make use of the
2005 version within VS2003. Possible?

Hi, I want to download Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 Refresh, but on the site of Microsoft they say it is only for MSDN subscribers? what is a MSDN subscriber and how do I get it? When I try to "Add Passport" on there site, they ask me my "Subscription or Membership ID'... how do I get these? I do have a legal version of VS.NET 2003 and MSDN, so I pressume I should have what they need there?

To Microsoft and fellow MSDN Universal subscribers... Regarding new MSDN Universal (I mean Premier) price and level changes: 1) Way too expensive for the small and medium developer Universal subscriber (and some large ones as well). $10,000 - $15,000 per user?!? Forget it! 2) Do you (MS) honestly believe that the market you are targeting will just buy this product on good faith? Without our recommendations? Think about

Hello, all. I have a problem with VS.NET 2003: Everytime it's starting up, it brings up a window saying: "Please wait while Windows configures MSDN Library for Visual Studio .NET 2003." It then takes a good 10 minutes to do its configuration. I've uninstalled VS and MSDN and re-installed both; I've run the repair on both, but no results. It's like the registry is messed up and not getting cleaned with the uninstalls. I spend all day today...

hi, I have a component that uses a database connection. In the finalizer I dispose the connection because I read in msdn the following: "A type must implement Finalize when it uses unmanaged resources such as file handles or database connections that must be released when the managed object that uses them is reclaimed."

Hi all, I have been working with Visual Studio 2003, but recently we decided to upgrade to Visual Studio 2005. I installed Visual Studio 2005 (after uninstalling Visual Studio 2003).

I just reformatted my hard drive and am trying to install the MSDN to run with Visual Studio 2003. But when I try to do it from the install screen from Visual Studio, I get a window that looks almost like a list of options for the install and then does nothing. Does anybody know how to get MSDN into VS 2003? TIA - Jeff.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs. The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols. I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
