Could some please explain to me what they are and.or what they do. I would Also like to know if there are any websites or good book to learn the adv. features of VC++ 6.0 Becuase I know the basic of the C++ learn and I want to learn what VC++ can help me do. Thank you for your help whoever gives it.

from the MSDN:

Introducing Visual InterDev
Microsoft® Visual InterDev™ is a Web development tool designed for programmers who want to create:

Data-driven Web applications using a data source supported by ODBC or OLE DB, such as the database management systems from Microsoft.


Broad-reach Web pages using HTML and script in Web applications that take advantage of the latest advances in browser technology, such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.0, Dynamic HTML and multimedia features.


Robust development environment with a Scripting Object Model, design-time controls (DTCs), and an extensible toolbox for rapid design, testing, and debugging of your pages.


Web teams that can develop pages in isolation and maintain ready access to a master version, or teams that include nonprogrammers who work on the master version through Microsoft® FrontPage®.


Integrated solutions that can include applets or components created in Microsoft® Visual Basic®, Visual C++®, Visual J++™, and Visual FoxPro®.

try http://msdn.microsoft.com for alot of info on VC++

also, it helps to try and make sample projects with VC++ so you can see all the things that are possible, try making an MFC application, its a lil weird at first, but once you get the gist of it it''s really neat (least i think so)

for a kinda neat tutorial go here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vidref98/html/viovrintroducingvisualinterdev.asp

and go to the scribble tutorial, it shows you how to create a basic MFC app that has some functionality, but isnt too complex.


Bungo!
