Features
Visual C++ boasts advanced features such as syntax highlighting, IntelliSense (a coding autocompletion feature) and advanced debugging functionality. For example, it allows for remote debugging using a separate computer and allows debugging by stepping through code a line at a time. The "edit and continue" functionality allows changing the source code and rebuilding the program during program debugging, without restarting the debugged program. Syntax highlighting is a feature of some text editors that displays text—especially source code—in different colors and fonts according to the category of terms. ...
IntelliSenseâ„¢ is a feature popularized by the Microsoft Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment. ...
The compile and build system feature, precompiled header files, "minimal rebuild" functionality and incremental link: these features significantly shorten turn-around time to edit, compile and link the program, especially for large software projects.
History - Visual C++ 1.0 which includes MFC 2.0 was the first version of Visual C++, released in 1993, available in both 16-bit and 32-bit versions, although it is also the next version of Microsoft C/C++ 7.0.
- Visual C++ 1.5 which includes MFC 2.5 added OLE 2.0 and ODBC support in MFC. It was 16-bit only and it is the first version of Visual C++ that comes only on CD-ROM.
- Visual C++ 2.0 which includes MFC 3.0 was the first version to be 32-bit only, although Visual C++ 1.51, an update to Visual C++ 1.5, was released at the same time as Visual C++ 2.0.
Updates to this version was Visual C++ 2.1, released at the same time as Visual C++ 1.52, another update to Visual C++ 1.5, and 2.2. Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard software API for connecting to database management systems (DBMS). ...

- Visual C++ 5.0 which includes MFC 4.21 was a major upgrade from 4.2.
- Visual C++ 6.0 which includes MFC 6.0 (released in 1998) was (and still is) widely used tool for large and small projects
- Visual C++ .NET 2002 which includes MFC 7.0 (known also as Visual C++ 7.0) was released in 2002 with support for link time code generation, debugging runtime checks, and included managed extension to the C++ language. It also included a new user interface (shared with Visual Basic and Visual C#), which is a primary reason why Visual C++ 6.0 is still in wide use.
- Visual C++ .NET 2003 which includes MFC 7.1 (known also as Visual C++ 7.1) was released in 2003 and was a major upgrade to Visual C++ .NET 2002.

Current editions There are three versions of Visual C++ available: - Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003 Standard
- Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003 Professional
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2003 Toolkit
Visual C++ .NET 2003 is also known as Visual C++ 7.1.
The Standard edition is available as a stand-alone product but is missing some features, most notably the optimizing compiler. However, this can be rectified by using the free optimizing compiler from the Toolkit.[1]
The Professional edition contains the full feature set, including the optimizing compiler, but is only available as a component of Visual Studio .NET. The Visual Studio . ...
The C++ Toolkit 2003 is available for free, and it consists only of the command line based compiler - notably, the same optimizing compiler and linker that ship with Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional - without the IDE and other components (Notably the Platform SDK and the debugger, although they are available as separate downloads). A command line interface or CLI is a method of interacting with a computer by giving it lines of textual commands (that is, a sequence of characters) either from keyboard input or from a script. ...
