If you have not downloaded the free Express edition of Visual Studio C#
and C++ you are missing out on a great deal :) I have tried using both
and I am impressed. With the new managed syntax it is just as easy to
write managed code in C++ as in C#. I was able to implement
deterministic behavior, use the STL, wrap a native win32 method and then
generate a dll in C++/CLI. I was then able to call the dll methods from
a C# exe.

The C++ edition does include the ILDASM which you can call from the C++
command line.

Have fun,
Jeff

Hmm... while the new managed syntax is an improvement, I still don't
think it's quite as nice as C# :)

ILDASM is part of the SDK, so I'd expect it to be in all editions.
