Visual C++ .NET 2003 provides developers with a proven, object-oriented language for building powerful and performance-conscious applications. With advanced ISO-conforming template features, low-level platform access, and an optimizing compiler, Visual C++ .NET 2003 delivers superior functionality for generating robust applications and components.
Developers can use Visual C++ .NET 2003 to build a wide variety of solutions, including Microsoft Windows-based and Microsoft .NET-connected applications. C++ is one of the world's most popular systems-level languages, and Visual C++ .NET 2003 gives developers a world-class tool with which to build best-in-class software.
Use Managed Extensions to C++ and compiler support for optimized Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) code generation. Incorporate Microsoft .NET Framework features including garbage collection, Windows Forms, and threading. Call unmanaged code using high-performance C++ interoperability technology. Write and compile purely unmanaged x86 code. Speed up your application or reduce its size with optimization options for a range of processors, including Whole Program Optimization, and support for Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) and Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) instruction sets.
Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003 is the powerful tool for creating Microsoft Windows -based and Microsoft .NET-connected applications, dynamic Web applications, and XML Web services using the C++ development language. This robust development environment comprises compilers that are highly-conformant to the International Standards Organization (ISO), a Standard Template Library (STL) implementation, industry-standard Active Template Library (ATL) and Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) libraries, and powerful integrated development environment (IDE) features enabling efficient editing and debugging of source code. Visual C++ .NET 2003 is a systems-level language, enabling the creation of best-in-class Windows-based and .NET-connected applications. With Visual C++ .NET 2003, developers can build highly tuned managed applications and components for .NET. Using simple managed extensions to the language, code and data-types are compiled for the .NET common language runtime (CLR) as fully optimized Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instructions. Developers can easily incorporate features of the .NET Framework, including full garbage collection, attributes, and threading, into C++ applications. Unique to Visual C++ is the ability to call unmanaged C++ code and ActiveX components using the highest performing interoperability technology on .NET. Building on its roots, Visual C++ .NET 2003 continues to enable developers to build entirely unmanaged Windows-based applications and components. In this release, the compiler is enhanced with several new and improved optimizations and capabilities, including Whole Program Optimization, the ability to generate optimized code for recent processor technologies (including the Intel Pentium 4), and the ability to better optimize for processors with Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE and SSE2) support. Visual C++ developers also enjoy the unique ability to move their existing code to .NET granularly and at a self-defined pace.
