The Visual C ++ Project Team released the Visual C ++ 2008 Feature Pack today. This feature pack contains some controls that previously had to be paid to BCG soft for use. For example, BCG's famous window layout and style customization functions, but it also has some useful controls, for example, folder list, folder tree, and attribute pane.
This feature pack also includes some STL extensions authorized from dinkumware, implementing the tr1 draft. This includes the new randomAlgorithm, Set classes, and regular expressions. For more information about tr1, see the dinkumware website.
Application generated after this Feature Pack is installedProgramA new version of MFC and CRT components must be released at the same time. It is expected that the technical support policy for this feature pack will be at the same level as the STL library authorized from dinkumware in vc6. That is to say, BCG soft, dinkumware, and Microsoft will provide technical support. If you need to install Windows SDK 6.1 After installing this feature pack, you need to fix Visual Studio 2008 after installing the SDK to keep the file up-to-date.
Currently, this patch only supports the English version of Visual Studio 2008 standard or later. To obtain these new features, you must wait until Visual Studio 2008 SP1 is released. Visual Studio 2008 contains this feature pack.
