VC++ .NET A very quick question by a Java programmer to a crowd of mostly Microsoft programmers: can I develop an application in VC++ .NET and build it in a way that doesn't need the .NET framework to run, i.e, an old school C++ app?

Yes. All of the .NET specific APIs will be off-limits of course, but you can still write plain old C++ with VC++.NET.

And, you should use VC++ .NET as opposed to VC++ 6. The compiler is much, much improved.

The 7.1 compiler is fantastic.

To bad the IDE sucks so hard...
fffffffffffffft
Nice troll. Anybody who's actually given the VS.NET IDE a fair chance would agree it's definitely one of (and quite possibly *the*) best IDE in existence for any language or from any vendor.

I like the VS.NET IDE a lot, but it's not as good as the VC++ 6 IDE.

I was impressed by VS.net.

I have used Eclipse extensively. It has most of VS.NET's features (and even a couple VS.NET doesn't have, like refactoring) but it's just not *slick*, you know? It was the little things like having a different "perspective" for coding and debugging, and whenever I switched back-n-forth between them, it never quite correctly remembered all my settings for each one so I'd have to do an extra mouse click or two. Or the intellisense--on Eclipse, once you get a dropdown list of completion items and change your mind and hit backspace to erase the last word, the dropdown list stays open trying to find a match and then the performance of the backspace keys grinds to nothing as the list goes searching...
