| | | | Product Guides | | | | Visual C++ .NET is the powerful toolset for creating best-in-class Windows-based and .NET-connected applications and components using the C++ development language. This robust development environment comprises highly ISO conformant compilers, industry standard STL, ATL and MFC libraries, and powerful IDE features enabling efficient editing and debugging of source code. Developers of all skill levels will enjoy powerful features including the ability to consume and extend the .NET Framework, visual designers for creating Windows Forms and components, a powerful debugger and industry leading compilers, offering advanced options for code generation on 32 and 64 bit platforms.
With Visual C++ .NET 2003, developers can build highly tuned managed applications and components for .NET. Using simple Managed Extensions to the language, code and data-types are compiled for the .NET common language runtime (CLR) as fully optimized Microsoft Intermediate Language instructions (MSIL). Developers can easily incorporate features of the .NET Framework, into C++ applications including full garbage collection, attributes, and threading, into C++ applications. Unique to Visual C++ is the ability to call unmanaged C++ code and ActiveX® components using the highest performing interop technology on .NET (IJW).

Windows Forms Designer:
- Design .NET Framework Windows Forms using the drag-and-drop forms designer
ISO C++ conformance:
- Visual C++ .NET is the most ISO C++ conforming Visual C++ ever, with new language support for features including Koenig Lookup and Partial Template Specialization
Improved Features:
Improved Compiler diagnostics:
- Visual C++ .NET 2003 simplifies previously complex compiler diagnostics and warnings to more discernable messages
Enhanced Buffer Security Checks:
- Visual C++ .NET 2003 offers '/GS', an improved compiler feature (now with an expanded repertoire of attack-thwarting abilities) that serves the developer as a 'backup parachute', catching some of the more common attacks against source code
The .NET Framework:
- Updated and modified to reflect user requests for enhanced security and performance.
Improved C++ Debugging:
- Now enhanced with improved managed-code and cross-language debugging capabilities, C++ debugging has never been easier or more powerful
Expanded Documentation and Samples:
- Key areas of the Visual C++ and .NET Framework documentation are enhanced in Visual C++ .NET 2003
Security Reviewed Libraries:
- The STL, ATL, MFC, and CRT libraries that ship with Visual C++ .NET 2003 have undergone scrutinizing review to identify and reduce potential security flaws
Benefits:
Create Highly Tuned .NET-connected Applications and Components:
- Use Managed Extensions to C++ and compiler support for optimized Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) code generation. Incorporate Microsoft .NET Framework features including garbage collection, Windows Forms, and threading. Call unmanaged code using high-performance C++ interop technology
Create Highly Tuned Unmanaged Windows-based Applications and Components:
- Write and compile unmanaged x86 code
Move Existing C++ Code to .NET Granularly and at a Self-defined Pace:
- Existing C++ code compiles for .NET without the need to rewrite it in a new language. Visual C++ supports intermixed managed and unmanaged code and data to provide maximum performance and control
Build Modern C++ Code and Library Sources with a Highly ISO C++-Compliant Compiler:
- Visual C++ .NET 2003 compiles modern C++ code that uses advanced template features, including Partial Template Specialization and Partial Ordering of Function templates. Make use of popular community-written libraries including Boost and Loki
Utilize Enhanced Libraries to Incorporate Advanced Features:
- Visual C++ .NET 2003 includes a variety of libraries encapsulating a plethora of data types and programming patterns, including a fully ISO-conforming STL implementation, industry-standard ATL and MFC, ATL Server, and the .NET Framework
Join a Mature and Intelligent Developer Community:
- Exchange code and knowledge with the vast population of hardcore C++ developers.
