Anything new for C++ in VS.NET?

[Thomas G. Seroogy]

I'm looking to begin studying C++ using Microsofts VC++6. Is there any major changes coming down the pike with the intro of VS.NET?

I've been introduced to C#, is this a move away from C++?

Any comments are appreciated.

Thank you,
Tom Seroogy

There will not be anything added or changed in C++ by .NET.

C++ is a separate language with its own language specification and standards.
C# is being developed to provide a simpler language to implement Windows/Net
programs. I/O and IPC will be dramatically effected by .NET, but C++ has
no I/O so any improvement should be for the best.

IMHO: c# is advanced VB with a C-syntax.

Actually they are adding the concept of attributes to VC++ in .NET. I'm not
sure exactly what it's all about... perhaps something to do with what they
called managed vs. unmanaged code.

IMHO: C# is a copy of Java.
