Thanks Thomas. In a newsgroup post, the Visual Studio Update Program Manager said, "If you have an interest in the service pack beta for Visual Studio 6.0, please nominate yourself for the beta. We have made substantial fixes to the 6.0 product since the last service pack, especially with VC++6.0 and VB 6.0. We are looking for quality customer feedback." If you are interested, go to BetaPlace and use Guest ID vsndpspguest. |

If you're still using Visual Studio 6 and (VC++6, VB6, InterDev) then you really are stuck in a different world.
You really should try VS.NET, especially for VC++, even if you don't want to use MEC++, you can still create and compile old fashioned VC++7. |

We still have a lot of old VB6 code to maintain.
Whats SP6 going to give us? Compatibility with Windows 2003 or something? |

#2 >>> Whats SP6 going to give us?
You are joking, right? |

There are some known memory leak issues in OLE DB ATL templates from day one and MS never fixed it in any of the existing service pack for VS6. It is only fixed in VS.NET. The other issue I know of (and MS documented in KB) is that ATL components will fail to register if the component path uses languages that use mulit-byte characters(like Japanese). Most developers (myself included) already move on to VS.NET 2003. The only time there is a need to fire up VS6 is to fix bugs. This post was edited by Foxbat on Monday, July 07, 2003 at 10:02. |

#6,
Using VS.NET does not mean actually using .NET technology. VC7/7.1 is still a regular C++ compiler like VC6 with bug fix and enhancement. Our company successfully port the VC6 code (more than one million lines of code) to new compiler with little tweak in a week. |
