It seems to work pretty well too, at least for us. I can't tell if the compiled program works though, as there are conflicts between the standard lib we used from Dinkumware and the one that ships with VS2005, which means it doesn't compile. The rather old Dinkumware library is unfortunately(?) more conformant and our code is written to that level of library support, so I can't just do some include dir tweaks, but the options seem to have been translated properly as well as project dependencies.

Just for the record...
I've converted 3 solutions and they all worked like a charm.
I seem to get 2 'standard' warnings for everything I convert (even hello world)
1. SxS mainifest files excluded.
2. C++ Compiler conformance change - fully qualified member function names.

Neither of these applied to what I was doing, so it was smooth sailing.

I have a question for someone who might know.

When compiling for Smart Devices in VS8 are we now using:
a) VS8 CPP precompiler with the eVc Code Generator.
b) VS8 CPP precompiler with a new Code Generator.
c) None of the above.

Has anyone got a number for the eVc vs. VS8 optimization performance impact?

And hey, shouldn't we get a C++ icon in the toolbar above now
to go with VB and C# icons Smile
