Re: Was there a VS 5? Jörgen Sigvardsson13-Dec-04 8:01 Jörgen Sigvardsson 13-Dec-04 8:01  And I had no idea VS97 existed. I remember buying the student version of VC5, and when I started working there was a brand new VC6. -- Weiter, weiter, ins verderben. Wir müssen leben bis wir sterben.

You're right though - I was getting VC and VS mixed up. cheers, Chris Maunder Re: Was there a VS 5?

I was using VS/VC 5.0 until my company switched to VS.NET. To me there are only two and a half versions of VS/VC prior to VS.NET, 1.51, 4.0 (used only briefly), and 5.0, the rest do not exist.

(I won't let myself use beta software for development) Having to go back and use VS 6 is painful but thankfully I've only got one active project that still uses it. Although I still feel that the resource editor for C++ projects is better in VC6 rather than the one in VS2003 - especially when trying to copy resources between projects. Oh and editing icons is a lot nicer in VC6 too. The only annoying thing in VS2003 is the dynamic help. Everytime you think you've turned it off, back it comes again.

P.S. Especially convenient in combination with WndTabs and Visual Assist. #define __ARMEN_H__ Re: Visual Studio 6.0 Rob Marsden12-Dec-04 22:30 Rob Marsden 12-Dec-04 22:30  Hear hear to that! Also: Far better than anything later, for the visually impaired. Panes that go where you put them, and stay there. An altogether cleaner interface with less stuff getting between me and what I want to do.

If you need c++ developement and need to use the resouce editor, VC6 is the best. Re: Visual Studio 6.0 diilbert14-Dec-04 2:27 diilbert 14-Dec-04 2:27  I used VS .NET (whatever the first release was) for awhile, but the problem was that my principle language is C++ and there were too many little problems. After that I went back to VS 6.0 and am yet to dive back into .NET of any kind. Derived Classes and Members Manish K. Agarwal12-Dec-04 20:32 Manish K. Agarwal 12-Dec-04 20:32  My vote is for 6.0 In 6.0 there are 4 toolbar buttons: "Call Graph", "Callers Graph", "Derived Classes and Members", and "Base Classes and Members" that I have used constantly for years. I have only been able to find the latter capability ("Base Classes and Members") in VS.NET Sonork ID 100:25668                                                  Home Page Re: Derived Classes and Members Phil Harding19-Dec-04 0:18 Phil Harding 19-Dec-04 0:18  Manish K.

Some of the developer features (refactoring for instance) look really helpful but the last build I tried was a bit of a hog (and that wonderful choice of a background gradient in the toolbars made my eyes water.) For now VS.NET 2003 is doing nicely. regards, Paul Watson South Africa The Code Project Re: 2003 now, 2005 soon Marc Clifton13-Dec-04 10:21 Marc Clifton 13-Dec-04 10:21  Paul Watson wrote: ...change shortly after I get...final release of Visual Studio 2005 Shortly, eh?

Till then I'll keep VS 2003 charged and ready. regards, Paul Watson South Africa The Code Project Re: 2003 now, 2005 soon Member 9613-Dec-04 16:49 Member 96 13-Dec-04 16:49  Yeah, from what I've heard that will be true but there is no way in hell were going to spend a second on 2005 until it's been out long enough for the initial bug fixes. Were just too busy to take a chance like that. Besides I'm just getting used to the endless rebuilding of the entire project when I make a change to a business object in my solution and my UI suddenly doesn't see any intellisense or autocomplete (or whatever that feature is called) any more for *all* my business objects. What is odd is that I have yet to see any bit of VS 2005, but our latest update to the Infragistics UI framework has that as a style option for every control so I can imagine what it's going to look like. Re: 2003 now, 2005 soon Alexander M.,16-Dec-04 5:07 Alexander M., 16-Dec-04 5:07  When will the public version of vs 2005 be released? Don't try it, just do it!
