I'm currently studying/experimenting with Win32 native applications.
I use VC++ 6.0 and the Platform SDK.
What I'd like to know is if I can do this using the new VC++ Express 2005 Beta.
Will I be able to compile executables free of the .NET framework and/or MFC classes? Is the .NET library always used in Express compilations or is it optional?
Also I'd like to eventually grow into developing freeware -- for distribution.
I assume i can do this using my student edition VC++ 6 free of charges. Is there any cost to developing .NET applications to be distributed as freeware?
Also can I develop a native application in Express 2005 and then compile it in VC++ 6 for free distribution? Would I only be able to recover the actual C source files? I suppose the new resource editor wouldn't be backwards compatible?
I just read up on it and the Express Edition products seem to be a great new addition. I almost wish I could pick on Microsoft but I have to say:
Please keep it up!!! Thanks.
