No. VC++ is not a language. It does not use .NET. C++/CLI uses .NET. This is a very simple concept to understand. C++ != C++/CLI.

If you compile C++ code in MSVS it is not converted to IL. It is converted to assembly, therefore it does not use .NET.

Whatever, Like I already said. I'm not a C++ programmer. I am only stating what I know.

I don't get why C++ is called "c++"... What does it stand for? (I'm not a coder or programmer so I don't know alot of stuff)

It's supposed to represent how it's an evolved version of C, ++ being an increment +1 in programming syntax.

Many reasons why:
- C uses the ++ operator which increases the value of a variable (Think about the increases the value part)
- C++ is on the most part, just C but with classes
- C+ sounds stupid
- Two pluses compounds to make it sound better. Kind of like when people say 'Super Supreme' or 'Specialty Deluxe' (Darn, now I want pizza) it was created so sound like a super enhanced programming language I guess

C++ started out as C with classes. At its current state it is far beyond "C with classes", e.g., templates.
