For anyone who works with C++ on Windows,
Microsoft Visual C++ .NET Language Reference
offers a highly useful reference to C++ used in the new Visual C++
.NET. Blending coverage of traditional features of this tried-and-true
programming language with the latest in .NET features, this title shows
how C++ has a real role to play in Microsoft's new platform.
This
reference work can serve as the definitive guide to language features
for the Visual C++ .NET programmer. With listings of every keyword in
the language, plus explanations of what they mean, along with sample
code, veteran C++ programmers can see how their favorite language has
been updated for .NET. (Some reference topics are generously reprinted.
For example, the same material occurs for the try, throw, and catch
keywords for easy access on exception handling.) Extensive listings of
C++ operators and material on every aspect of designing with classes
are two highlights here.
The heart of this book for most readers will be its coverage of managed extensions,
that is, C++, the language used to target .NET programs. This material
shows that Virtual C++ .NET is a first-class language for the new
platform. This text lists and explains important language extensions
(like _gc) that permit C++ to work with .NET and take full advantage of
new capabilities like garbage collection, delegates, events, as well as
properties and indexers. These chapters will more than justify the cost
of this book for anyone tackling C++ on the new .NET. Final listings of
every Visual C++ .NET compiler and linker switch provide some more
useful reference material.
In all, this text proves that Visual
C++ .NET has a role to play in .NET. As a reference to the C++ language
of old, plus new Microsoft enhancements to the language the permit it
to work with .NET, this title will be a must-have for anyone who writes
C++ code on Windows and .NET. --Richard Dragan
