Visual Studio .Net
Author
I''m just curious what everybody''s thoughts are about Microsoft''s Visual Studio .Net especially those of you who have the beta version. I''m in college right for a computer science major and I get academic pricing on software which is really nice. I was wondering if it would be better to wait for .Net or go ahead and buy Visual Studio 6. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

I''d say wait a bit. .NET is the next generation...and it''s well worth the wait. You don''t want to be proficient in yester-year''s technology....
Also, you can pick up a free beta DVD by getting any one of a host of magazines...or by paying $10 for a copy from MS.

I have a couples questions for someone here who has used VS7:
Does new throw an exception now?
Does it support the export keyword for templates?
Will this code work now (it doesn''t in MSVC 6.0, but it does in Borland and GCC):
Thanks
. Also, Doodah2001, sorry for attaching myself to your thread. I''ll justify this post by giving you reasons to or not to wait

template <int Num> float rPowTemplate(float X) { return (X * rPowTemplate <Num-1> (X));}template <> float rPowTemplate <1> (float X) { return X;}template <> float rPowTemplate <0> (float X) { return 1.0f;} Thanks

Oh, I should add that that code compiles and links in MSVC 6.0, it just always returns X and not X to the Num''th power. Really weird.

Your code seems to work.
As for the other two items ... I don''t know. I haven''t tried yet.

float f = 5.0;float p = rPowTemplate <3> (f); // p = 125 As for the other two items ... I don''t know. I haven''t tried yet.

If you are running windows 2000 OR XP visual studio .NET is pure evil. Why? Well VS .Net thinks it''s a great idea that you install the IIS server component. You can''t install VS .NET with out installing IIS first! Once you''ve installed IIS your pretty much screwed. Why? Because you just installed a component which virus programmers have been specificaly targeting over the last few months. Nimda, Code Red, You''ve got the patches? Well that''s fine and dandy but there will be more!
Here is my story...Got the VS .net beta. Was forced to install IIS. Installed IIS, and went to MS''s site to download the patch immediately. Install the patch, reboot...NAV detects Nimda virus. Remove nimda virus, install the patch again, upgrade to latest SP for 2000. Reboot, Nimda is back. Turn off IIS services, patch, re-install SP, clean nimda again. It''s all gone. Installed Visual Studio .NET, removed IIS no more virii. Granted it''s a minor gripe, but quite frankly I don''t see the reason why I''m forced to install something like IIS when I might not even use C#. Before release of this product they realy need to add some more control over the installation process. If I''m forced to install IIS again for the final version I''m going to be majorly upset.

First, VS.NET will only install/run on 2000 or XP. 2nd, just disable IIS once it''s installed...it doesn''t have to be running to use VS.NET
