Documentation on Visual C++ .NET from Microsoft is little to nonexistant with the latest 2005 version of the compiler. They don't even produce a book about it to my knowledge.
This is the main reason I switched to Visual C# instead of the C++ variant. They changed up the syntax completely (i.e. .NET 1.1 code does not compile *at all*) and it just seems more muddled and confused than it needs to be.
This all left me believing that Visual C++ is well on the way to becoming a deprecated language in Microsoft's eyes, and thus has a limited future with that platform. I found C# to be syntactically cleaner than what Visual C++ has become.
