Hour 1. Using Visual C++ .NET

Visual C++ .NET is Microsoft's newest version of Visual C++ and is part of Visual Studio .NET (VS .NET). It combines the previous features of Visual C++ with the new features of the .NET Framework, giving you the best of both worlds. Visual C++ .NET is currently the only .NET-capable language that allows you to mix traditional Win32 and Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) applications with the new .NET applications.

The new Visual Studio .NET environment for Visual C++ .NET is somewhat different from previous versions of Visual Studio. Several new features are combined with a new look, and some features you might have used before are no longer available, because they were replaced or made obsolete.

In this hour you will learn:

What new features were added to the IDE and which ones are no longer supported
The types of applications Visual C++ .NET can create
How to compile and debug your applications
How to work with solutions and projects
