There was an interesting MSDN webcast on Longhorn for C++ developers today
which talked about using STL containers with .Net objects; deterministic
finalization in Whidbey (woohoo!); new, cleaner managed C++ syntax,
interoperation of Winforms and MFC; future of MFC; migration options to
Longhorn/Avalon etc.

A recording of the presentation should be available at

www.microsoft.com/usa/webcasts/ondemand

in a couple of days. Just by the way, it runs about 2 hours.

Regards,
Will
 
Yes, Anson Tsao from my team did the webcast. Feel free to share any
feedback on the presentation.

The items I mentioned and marshall_as attribute which I forgot look the most
interesting to me.

With luck C++ should assume its rightful position at the top of another
heap. :-)

Just by the way, those of us listening to the webcast had the option of
saving the PPT slides locally. I don't know if that is the kind of thing
that will be made available with the recording but if it is not perhaps they
ought to be downloadable.

Regards,
Will
 
I'll check to make sure the slides will be available in some way.

Thanks.
