everybody involved is nearly done with the manuscript and all that's left to do is to thank everybody Because the author's name appears on the cover, it's sometimes easy to forget all the other folks involved in a project as large as this Many other folks gave their time and energy to this project, and I wish to thank you Thank you Sandy Daston and Ted Shepherd—my family, for your support while I wrote this book Thank you, Denise Bankaitis As the project editor, you kept me going by reminding me of the importance of this project (a key C++ reference for NET) and by coordinating the efforts of the rest of the team, which includes Julie Xiao, Ina Chang, Danielle Bird, Juliana Aldous, Joel Panchot, Carl Diltz, and Gina Cassill Thank you, Julie Xiao, for keeping the manuscript accurate Thank you, Ina Chang, for making my sentences readable Thank you, Danielle Bird and Juliana Aldous As acquisition editors, you got this project rolling and kept it on track Thank you, Joel Panchot, for making sure the art in this book looks good Thank you, Carl Diltz and Gina Cassill, for composing the manuscript and making it look great I would also like to thank the folks at DevelopMentor, for providing a wonderful environment and community for thinking and learning about modern computing You guys are wonderful George Shepherd When George Shepherd isn't writing NET components for Syncfusion ( http://www.syncfusion.com), he teaches short courses with DevelopMentor ( http://www.develop.com) George is a contributing editor for MSDN magazine, and the coauthor of several other books on working with Microsoft technologies George now prefers to play his Hamer Artist between compiles (although NETís new JIT compiling doesnít leave as much time for that) Drill Bit The year was 1914, and the electric motor was still newfangled Along came two bright young fellows, S Duncan Black and Alonzo G Decker, who saw its possibilities They hooked one of the new motors up to a drill bit—a circular piece of metal with a chisel edge and cutting lips— and the world's first electric drill was born It had a pistol grip and a trigger switch, and it made boring holes a snap, but it didn't really catch on until 20 years later when, in 1946, Black and Decker designed a model for consumers, and the tool took off As usual, necessity was the mother of invention and the father of a highly successful company—a bit of wisdom you can drill home time and time again.[*] At Microsoft Press, we use tools to illustrate our books for software developers and IT professionals Tools very simply and powerfully symbolize human inventiveness They're a metaphor for people extending their capabilities, precision, and reach From simple calipers and pliers to digital micrometers and lasers, these stylized illustrations give each book a visual identity, and a personality to the series With tools and knowledge, there's no limit to creativity and innovation Our tag line says it all: The tools you need to put technology to work The manuscript for this book was prepared and galleyed using Microsoft Word Pages were composed by Microsoft Press using Adobe FrameMaker+SGML for Windows, with text in

Dutton/Times Mirror Magazines, Inc., 1979) Introduction The release of the Microsoft Visual Studio NET (and Visual C++ NET in particular) has underscored Microsoft's increasing focus on Internet technologies, which are at the heart of the Microsoft NET architecture In addition to supporting the NET initiative, Visual C++ NET keeps all the productivity-boosting features you're familiar with, such as Edit And Continue, IntelliSense, AutoComplete, and code tips Visual C++ NET also includes many new features such as managed code extensions for NET programming, support for attributed code, and a more consistent development environment These features take Visual C++ NET to a new level This book will get you up to speed on the latest technologies introduced into Visual C++ Chapter 33:
