Download details: VC++ 2008 Libraries Feature Pack "Beta"

The Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack extends the VC++ Libraries shipped with Visual Studio 2008.

The VC++ 2008 MFC libraries have been extended to support creation of applications that have:

* Office Ribbon style interface

* Modern Visual Studio-style docking toolbars and panes

This feature pack also includes an implementation of TR1. Portions of TR1 are scheduled for adoption in the upcoming C++0x standard as the first major addition to the ISO 2003 standard C++ library. Our implementation includes a number of important features such as:

* Smart pointers

* Regular expression parsing

* New containers (tuple, array, unordered set, etc)

* Sophisticated random number generators

* Polymorphic function wrappers

* Type traits

* And more!
