Using Win32 in .Net

[Guest]

This may be a stupid question, but if I create a Win32 project using VC++
7.x, will it build the same as VC++ 6 or will it be a .Net app?

If you build a Win32 application, console or windowed, it will have no
dependency on the .Net framework.

That said, the compiler and to a lesser extent the linker underwent
significant renovations between versions so, even assuming the same source,
and the executables will not be byte-for-byte identical.
