.Net Framework
I wanted to know if making a program in Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2008 required the .Net Framework for it to run.
I was talking to a friend of mine and he said he thought that all applications made with Microsoft's Express compilers, required the .Net Framework.
Thanks

Re: .Net Framework
Simple console applications, basic API32 and MFC applications don't need the framework. The rest (C#, managed C++, etc... ) do need the framework.

Basically correct, but with one MAJOR (and unfortunately common) flaw.
"Managed C++" [technically Managed Extensions for C++ ] is a language what was supported under .NET 1.1 (VS-2001,VS-2003)
"C++/CLI" is a completely different languge that is supported with .NET 2.0,3.0,3.5 (and will be with 4.0).
With Visual Studio 2005 (and later) you can develop C++/CLI application (which WILL require the .NET framework).

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice there is.
