Orcas and XML code documentation

404 byte By skmcfadden at 2008-2-20
The C# XML Documentation in VS2003/2005 is very nice. It would be nice if ORCAS had inline XML Documentation functionality in native C++ projects (similar to C#). I really don't want to have to use Doxygen to get this functionality. It would be nice if the IDE just supported XML docs out of ...

Inconsistent values of WINVER and _WIN32_WINNT

559 byte By davewilk at 2008-2-14
I have always found the specification of WINVER, _WIN32_WINNT and WIN32_WINDOWS massively confusing, but with Orcas only Windows 2000 and above are supported, so shouldn't WINVER and _WIN32_WINNT always be equal? Shouldn't this be enforced? In an MFC project (the only kind I use) this could ...

Silverlight & C++/CLI

1805 byte By WillSmith at 2008-2-7
With all the recent press and excitement surrounding Silverlight there has been a noticeable lack of metion of the C++/CLI story. It appears like the lack of tools support for WPF/BAML in Orcas, that C++/CLI is not going to be a tenable language in the .NET universe. I believe that C++ team at ...
