Microsoft releases "Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 "
Ok there has to be a catch..... Well i guess there is not.
Will I be able to use this compiler with Visual Studio.Net 2k3 standard. Is there a way i can replace the compiler on Visual Studio.NET with this toolkit.

If you saw my post in the lounge I was quite shocked to discover that the compiler infact was "crap" in the standard edition after I got it.
This has just made my day (for the next few months).
*jumps for joy*
Yeah but that doesnt answer my question. Is there any way to replace the compiler on Visual Studio.NET standard with this.

I''d suspect you could just replace the cl.exe and link.exe in your VS.NET installation with the ones from the toolkit.

Did you said microsoft and free in the same sentence?
Oh, give us a break. MS has always had lots of free stuff, especially for developers.
My guess is that that languages really aren''t where the money is at. People will still buy visual studio, because it is the whole package that really makes it, not the compiler.
I mean let''s face it almost all the language vendors are gone now except Borland.
I think this is a great thing, it was always my biggest complaint against Microsoft that it failed to provide free tools to program on it. But that was several years ago. Things have changed since than.
My last complaint is that 1) they should bring back the profiler (if it is in Visual .NET my copy did not come with it and I bought it) and 2) They should continue with the old Visual Basic as it was and provide both VB.NET and the old style (yes, people will pooh on VB, but VB6 was just very handy for generating EXEs for quicky programs that don''t need .NET).
