.NET scope of Visual C++ Express

[Ioannis Vranos]

I have downloaded and installed VC++ Express Beta and still I did not
manage to find out in what .NET scope this edition works.
May someone tell, what part of .NET does it cover and which part it does
not cover please?

May someone tell, what part of .NET does it cover and which part it does
not cover please?

Could you define what you mean by "scope"?

My understanding is that the Express Beta edition has the full ISO/ANSI
compliant optimizing compiler and about 85% or so of the new C++/CLI syntax
support. On another group, I read that Beta 2 will be around the high
ninties percentile with respect to the new syntax.

Was this what your asking?

No I mean does it work with with all .NET framework? Windows Forms (I
know it does for this), ADO .NET, Web Services, GDI+, File classes, XML
facilities, Cryptographic facilities, etc?

Everything, yes. I don't know if Express comes with all of the .NET project
wizards or not (since I haven't downloaded it), but it does include the
complete 2.0 .NET Framework, so wizard or no, you should be able to do all
kinds of .NET development with Express.
