Re: D2007 vs MS Visual Studio 2005

I'm not confusing it. I know that Delphi 2007 for Win32 both
runs on Vista, and produces exes that run with the glass interface
when run on Vista, but will still work on XP and 2000 without
the glass interface.

I know that I can't buy VS2005, install it on Vista, go to help,
and get any updates, and then create an application for Vista
that has the glass interface. This is comparing apples to apples.
If I have to do more than this, than VS2005 is NOT equivalent
to Delphi 2007 for Win32 when it comes to the ease of
running on Vista and creating exes for Vista with the glass
interface.

Can I run VS2005 on Vista? Someone has said that if I
run Service Pack 1 for Vista I can. I'll take their word.

I do not believe that installing Service Pack 1 for Vista means
that VS2005 will automatically create exes with the glass interface
on Vista. From what I understand, if I install the November
Oracs in VS2005, I can produce exes with the glass interface,
but not in the same manner as I create exes for XP and 2000,
because VS2005 does not automatically create event handlers
for you when you, for example, click on a button, if the project
is a Vista project. I know this for a fact, because I have installed
the November Orcas, and created an exe that has the glass
interface when run on Vista.

I belive that you basically confirmed that I took the correct
path to get exes with the glass look on Vista from VS2005. I
never said you couldn't do this, just that out of the box you
DON'T get this with VS2005, but you do get it with Delphi
2007 for Win32.

I think we are confusing two things here: having the Visual Studio 2005
run on Vista, and producing applications that take advantage of the
Vista's
new futures, such as WPF.

Now, there is the Visual Studio 2005 extensions for .NET Framework 3.0
(WCF & WPF), November 2006 CTP, but as far as I understand it is
not compatible with the Service Pack 1.
