The new Visual C++ 2005 is coming out in a theater near you. :-)
Just a few questions:
* How will the users that use my program upgrade to the .NET framework 2.0?
My current users already refuse to install the v1.x framework since they
clame it is too complicated.
* Can we still compile pure unmanaged C++ executables so that our users do
not need to install a .NET framework? With VC++ 2003 it could, but since
Microsoft is pushing to .NET (I love .NET) the resulting executable might
expect the .NET all the time from now on even when no managed extensions are
used. 6 1186
Hi Olaf! The new Visual C++ 2005 is coming out in a theater near you. :-)

You have the same problem for XP...
(maybe it will be integrated with SP3...)
But most systems have it already installed (most software has integrated
the dotNet.msm in their setup (like ATI-Video-Drivers...)

You can still develop unmanaged code.

Around the 7th. :-) * How will the users that use my program upgrade to the .NET framework
2.0? My current users already refuse to install the v1.x framework since
they clame it is too complicated.
You have the same problem for XP... (maybe it will be integrated with SP3...)
If I look at how happy people are to install SP2, then I doubt it that SP3
will be installed if I ship my program.
One of the people here managed to delay the SP2 install by 6 months. Untill
he went on holiday and I took over his machine (I am IT too). I still don't
understand all the fuzz he had of not installing it. I think it is some kind
of scare of the unknown.
But most systems have it already installed (most software has integrated the dotNet.msm in their setup (like ATI-Video-Drivers...)
It is getting better, but most users we have simply refuse to install it and
it is not really a mass product we create (yet), so harder to push the .NET
framework installation as requirement. For 2 years I have been advocating
this .NET but I am only one and they are many. :-(
But it is good that ATI and VB programmers use .NET now, that means that
users somehow are forced by others to install it, so my installation will
become simpler in time. Hopefully in my lifetime. ;-)
You can still develop unmanaged code.
I was expecting this, but I could not find this on the information I have
seen.
So buying it will not get the people scared that I want to go all the way
for the .NET thing. :-)

ATI has *integrated* the dotNET-Framework in their setup. So the user
does *not* recognise that it will be installed :-)

Since MS support for VC++ 6.0 will soon lapse, VC++ 8.0 and all future
releases for many years to come had **better** support unmanaged code,
because there's a mighty lot of it out there that must still be maintained!!!
Also, MS is itself writing Longhorn in unmanaged C/C++, isn't it? It's my
understanding that Avalon, Indigo, etc., are not written in .NET.

Avalon and Indigo are managed code. If not 100%, then nearly so. Many of
the new parts of Visual Studio 2005 (e.g. all of the Team System stuff) is
managed code.
The core OS is and always will be native C and C++.
But yes, native code development will be supported forever. Afterall, the
CLR itself is unmanaged code, and they'll always need tools to build that.
-cd
I suppose I misinterpreted Scoble's remarks in http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=72074 The parts of Avalon that Longhorn relies on are not managed, as far as I know.
Maybe I was assuming that Longhorn "relies on" more of Avalon than it
actually does, since (originally) Avalon, Indigo, and WinFS were declared the
"Three Pillars of Longhorn". Now, apparently, it's less of a "pillar" than
an attached ornament? So how much of Avalon is written in C/C++, and how
much is written in C#? Anyway, the part of Avalon that Longhorn **does**
rely on is unmanaged, it seems. And of course, as you say the code base of
Longhorn is itself unmanaged, since it's built starting with Windows 2003.
It will be a long time, if ever, before Windows is unmanaged code, I'm sure
we all agree. If that made sense, then Solaris would be written in Java.

A couple of questions re. managed vs. unmanaged code.
1. I know this depends on the app, but how much faster is unmanaged code
vs. managed code? Is there an average figure for this?
2. Is it as simple as using a #pragma to convert from unmanaged to managed?
And if so, can I simply change my existing code to managed with the #pragma
wherever I want to eliminate transitions, or are there issues with this?

Hi all,
I am experiencing a strange thing happening with a "designer.vb" page. Controls I manually declare in this page are automatically deleted after I drop another control on a ".aspx" page.
- Why is this happening?
- Can I disable automatic declaration and have everything be declared manually?
- Any other options to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I have a question on how to import unmanaged DLLs into Visual Studio 2005,
C# environment.
The background is that an instrument we bought is controlled through a
couple of DLL files. I belive they are written in C++ and compiled for an
Windows enviroment but we only got the binaries.
Looking at the examples within Visual Studio we have tried to incorporate
these DLLs into our own test application to control the instrument.
