Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 6.0

Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 6.0 Review

This is really an excellent software bundle.

I've been developing on VB6 and VC++ 6 for around 9 months now and Visual Studio 6 is by far the best tool for the job i.e. one of the many features you get with VC++ v6.

You can actually create a working GUI application with an MDI setup already programmed, linked to a datasource of your choice and forms created by wizards, all in a matter of around 30 seconds without any coding at all. If this isn't fast, what is? ActiveX controls, DLL libraries and using Microsoft's ADO data control system is very easy to use.

I thought Visual C++ 5 was good, but I do enjoy seeing a list of possible functions and attributes that you are associated with objects when you type the name of the object in your class related source files. The package is much better integrated for web development.

Overall, excellent package
