Re: Visual Studio 6 vs. .NET 2005

Were I you, I'd google for the Express Edition of VS 2005, I think it is a
free download. If you find that some modern code doesn't compile you may
be able to use express. If you find yourself in that situation often,
maybe it would pay you to upgrade.

for anything to do with STL and templates you have to use VC2003 or 2005 if
you want your code to be standards compliant. VC6 is very bad in that
regard, as william already indicated.
you can download the express edition for free from microsoft:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualC/default.aspx

Just btw, in addition to better standard compliance the new version has
support for targetting the .Net framework.

you also need to download the latest platform SDK for windows native
programming.
one disadvantage is that you don't get MFC and ATL with the free version.
