I'm looking at the specs for Delphi 2005 and I found the following statement
in the Reviewers Guide:

"Delphi 2005 can also support additional compilers, if you wish. For
example, so long as you have the VB for .NET compiler installed on your
workstation, you can create, open, edit, compile and debug VB for .NET
applications without ever leaving the Delphi 2005 IDE."

This sounds pretty neat - if it works. I'm not concerned about VB for .NET.
I want to know if it can handle other Visual Studio languages, like C++.

If I had Visual Studio 2003 (or 2005 when it comes out) installed, including
the C++ portion, would I be able to compile a Visual Studio C++ project from
within the Delphi 2005 IDE? Better yet, would I be able to debug it as
well?
