InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft officials including Chairman Bill Gates, will reveal details of improvements planned for the Visual C++ .Net and Visual C# .Net programming languages at a conference in Seattle on Friday. At the OOPLSA (Object-Oriented Programming Systems, Languages, and Applications) conference Gates and Anders Hejlsberg, Distinguished Engineer and architect of Microsoft .Net and C#, will discuss the plans for the two programming technologies, which are supported in the Visual Studio .Net development environment.
For Visual C++ .Net, Microsoft plans to have the language conform to the C++ ISO standard with the planned Everett release of the Visual Studio .Net in 2003. The C++ product will be 98 percent compliant with ISO, according to Microsoft.
