VC++ FAQ

Question

I am excited to announce the availability of the following FAQ paper which lists some of the questions frequently asked by the Visual C++ forum members. This paper has covered many parts of VC++ from Visual C++ Express, Visual C++ General, MFC, etc. Although it’s far from complete, but this is the first attempt our forum support team has been trying to make to help development community members find the answers to their questions much easier and fast, and it’s always the top priority for our team to make the MSDN forum a good place for developers to ask questions, talk about technologies etc. With time goes on, this thread will be enhanced with more FAQs and content, so we really welcome and appreciate any feedback or suggestion on how to improve it.
