June 16, 2006Jun 16, 200606/16/06Hi, my name is Ameya Limaye and I am a developer on the VC++ IDE Team, working mainly on the Intellisense, Browsing and Editor feature areas. Prior to this I was on the VC++ Compiler Team. I would like to take this opportunity to discuss several of the improvements we have made in VS 2005 and some of the stuff we are working on for VS 2005 SP1 and Orcas (the next version of VS).
June 12, 2006Jun 12, 200606/12/06Hi! My name is Martyn Lovell, and I’m the development lead on the Visual C++ Libraries team. You might have seen me blog

June 8, 2006Jun 8, 200606/8/06Microsoft has made its x86 assembler available as a free download. The Microsoft Macro Assembler 8.0 (MASM) is a tool that compiles x86 assembly language programs and generates corresponding binaries. Assembly language programs built with MASM can be edited and debugged using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.

Internally,
