I assume that 2.0 will be rolled out with VS.NET 2004. Does anybody know if
MS is planning to ship an STL package with it?

things that differ between generics and templates, some of which are
implemented in STL which can not be implemented with generics. Because of
this alone, I would think that there wouldn't be something of this nature
distributed when generics is released.

Hope this helps.

n! said:It depends on what you mean you qualify as stl? If he's just referring to
templated collections, then Microsoft are adding generic collection to the
base class library in the System.Collections.Generic namespace. Including
generic versions of Dictionary, List, Queue and Stack. Though the
names\namespaces may change before release, there will be genric
collections.
Actually - at the PDC in LA recently the C# team did mention STL.NET which
is probsbly an STL-like extention written with C#2.0 generics, over and
above the simple collections that'll ship with .NET2.0
