I was wondering if I were to "find" a copy of VisualStudio.net 2003 would i be able to write my c++ programs in it? And what are the newest microsoft C++ compilers that are out????
ty :-D

Using various P2P software, you could "find" a book called "Visual C# for Absolute Beginners", this is a great book which describes the new C# language and compares it to C++.

well im only asking this because right now i use visual c++ 6.0 and its a bit outdated.
so i was trying to see if there is a newer compiler out so i can be a little more up to date.

The short answer to your question is "No." Visual studio .NET is only used for .NET languages...VB.NET, J#, C#, & C++.NET. Anything running on the .NET framework will be easier to write, but run slower, than a similarly written program in C++.
A lot of people use the bloodshed compiler...I'm not a C++ guy so I don't know what the latest and the greatest is. Borland probably has something out, though.

ya know.. contrary to what Microsoft would absolutely love you to believe, theirs is not the only compilers available on the windows platform. lol.. there's others such as borland, dev-c++, and many others. i use dev-c++..

http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_cbuilder.htmlthose links will come up in a new window :) but i'm taking a C Programming class next semester, and my college still uses Visual Studio 6. so i wouldn't believe you'd have much of any problems continuing use with that if you felt the need to support microsoft *shakes fist*, lol.

one last thing, Dev-C++ (a Bloodshed product) is a free program and Borland has their free compiler, along with a trial enterprise ed. of their software(?)

yea but i used them before and i didnt understand how to use the compilers.
but right now im learning how to write windows programs with MFC so i think i need to use VC++ 6.0 dont i?

I dont know if Borland can use MFC, I never used their compilers :p. But I'd say stick with VC++ 6.0 for now since you have it already and worked with it before.
SN is right about V Studio.net. It wouldnt do you much good if you changed to it now if you want to code regular C++. The .net C++ compiler is slower as are the programs. So if you dont intend to go .net then stick with VC++ 6.0. That is the best compiler from Microsoft for C++ as far as their speed goes if you ask me.
