It features tools for and C code, especially code written for the, and.Many require Visual C runtime library packages to function correctly.

These packages are often installed independently of applications, allowing multiple applications to make use of the package while only having to install it once. These Visual C redistributable and runtime packages are mostly installed for standard that many applications use. Contents.History The predecessor to Visual C was called Microsoft C/C. There was also a Microsoft 2.5 and a Microsoft QuickC for Windows 1.0. The Visual C is still known as Microsoft C/C and as of the release of Visual C 2015 Update 2, is on version 8.16-bit versions. Microsoft C 1.0, based on, was Microsoft's first C product in 1983.

It was not. C 2.0 added large model support. C 3.0 was the first version developed inside Microsoft.

This version intended compatibility with K&R and the later ANSI standard. It was being used inside Microsoft (for and development) in early 1984.

It shipped as a product in 1985. C 4.0 added optimizations and, a source-level debugger. C 5.0 added loop optimizations and ( bigger than 64k) support. Microsoft and the first 32 bit compiler for 80386 were also part of this project. C 5.1 released in 1988 allowed compiling programs for OS/2 1.x. C 6.0 released in 1989.

It added the Programmer's Workbench IDE, global flow analysis, a source browser, and a new debugger, and included an optional front end. C/C 7.0 was released in 1992. Added built-in support for and (Microsoft Foundation Class Library) 1.0. Visual C 1.0, which included MFC 2.0, was the first version of ‘Visual’ C, released in February 1993.

It was 2.1 compliant and available in two editions:. Standard: replaced QuickC for Windows. Professional: replaced C/C 7.0.

Included the ability to build both DOS and Windows applications, an, a source, and the Windows 3.1 SDK. The 286 DOS Extender Lite was also included. Visual C 1.5 was released in December 1993, included MFC 2.5, and added 2.0 and support to MFC. It was the first version of Visual C that came only on. Visual C 1.51 and 1.52 were available as part of a subscription service.

Visual C 1.52b is similar to 1.52, but does not include the Control Development Kit. Visual C 1.52c was a patched version of 1.5. It is the last, and arguably most popular, development platform for 3.x. It is available through.Strictly 32-bit versions. Visual C 1.0 (original name: Visual C 32-bit Edition) was the first version for development for the architecture. Although released when version 1.5 was available, it did not include support for OLE2 and ODBC.

It was also available in a bundle called Visual C 16/32-bit Suite, which included Visual C 1.5. Visual C 2.0, which included MFC 3.0, was the first version to be 32-bit only. In many ways, this version was ahead of its time, since, then codenamed 'Chicago', was not yet released, and had only a small market share. Microsoft included and updated Visual C 1.5 as part of the 2.x releases up to 2.1, which included Visual C 1.52, and both 16-bit and 32-bit version of the Control Development Kit (CDK) were included. Visual C 2.x also supported development. It is available through. There was a Visual C 2.0 RISC Edition for and processors, as well as a cross-platform edition for the ( instruction set).

Visual C 2.1 and 2.2 were updates for 2.0 available through subscription. Visual C 4.0, released on 1995-12-11, introduced the Developer Studio IDE. Its then-novel tiled layout of non-overlapping panels—navigation panel, combination editor/source level debugger panel, and console output panel —continues through the product line (as of 2013).

Visual C 4.0 included MFC 4.0, was designed for Windows 95 and Windows NT. To allow support of legacy (Windows 3.x/DOS) projects, 4.0 came bundled with the Visual C 1.52 installation CD. Updates available through subscription included Visual C 4.1, which came with the Microsoft Game SDK (later released separately as the DirectX SDK), and Visual C 4.2. Version number 3.0 was skipped to achieve version number parity between Visual C 4.0 and MFC 4.0. Visual C 4.2 did not support Windows 3.x development. This was the final version with a cross-platform edition for the available and it differed from the 2.x version in that it also allowed compilation for the instruction set.

Visual C 5.0, which included MFC 4.21 and was released 1997-04-28, was a major upgrade from 4.2. Available in four editions: Learning, Professional, Enterprise, and RISC.

Visual C 6.0 (commonly known as VC6), which included MFC 6.0, was released in 1998. The release was somewhat controversial since it did not include an expected update to MFC. Visual C 6.0 is still quite popular and often used to maintain legacy projects. There are, however, issues with this version under Windows XP, especially under the debugging mode (for example, the values of static variables do not display).

The debugging issues can be solved with a patch called the 'Visual C 6.0 Processor Pack'. Version number:. Visual C.NET 2002 (also known as Visual C 7.0), which included MFC 7.0, was released in 2002 with support for link time code generation and debugging runtime checks,.NET 1.0,. The new user interface used many of the hot keys and conventions of, which accounted for some of its unpopularity among C developers. Version number:. Visual C.NET 2003 (also known as Visual C 7.1), which included MFC 7.1, was released in 2003 along with.NET 1.1 and was a major upgrade to Visual C.NET 2002.

It was considered a patch to Visual C.NET 2002. Accordingly, the English language upgrade version of Visual Studio.NET 2003 shipped for minimal cost to owners of the English-language version of Visual Studio.NET 2002. This was the last version to support Windows 95 and NT 4.0 as a target.

Microsoft Visual C 5 Professional Edition

Version number:. eMbedded Visual C in various versions was used to develop for some versions of the operating system. Initially it replaced a development environment consisting of tools added onto Visual C 6.0.

EMbedded Visual C was replaced as a separate development environment by.32-bit and 64-bit versions. Visual C 2005 (also known as Visual C 8.0), which included MFC 8.0, was released in November 2005. This version supports.NET 2.0 and includes a new version of C targeted to the.NET framework with the purpose of replacing the previous version. Managed C for CLI is still available via compiler options, though. It also introduced.

With Visual C 2005, Microsoft also introduced. Visual C 8.0 has problems compiling MFC AppWizard projects that were created using Visual Studio 6.0, so maintenance of legacy projects can be continued with the original IDE if rewriting is not feasible. Visual C 2005 is the last version able to target. SP1 version (7.762) is also available in.

Visual C 2008 (also known as Visual C 9.0) was released in November 2007. This version supports.NET 3.5. Managed C for CLI is still available via compiler options. By default, all applications compiled against the Visual C 2008 Runtimes (static and dynamic linking) will only work under Windows 2000 and later. A feature pack released for VC9, later included in SP1, added support for C library extensions.

SP1 version (9.01) is also available in. Some versions of Visual C supported. Visual C 2010 (also known as Visual C 10.0) was released on April 12, 2010.

It uses a database to store information about the source code, including information, for better IntelliSense and code-completion support. However, Visual C 2010 does not support Intellisense for C/CLI. This version adds a C parallel computing library called the, partial support for, significantly improved IntelliSense based on the front end, and performance improvements to both the compiler and generated code. This version is built on.NET 4.0, but supports compiling to. The partial C11 support mainly consists of six compiler features: lambdas, rvalue references, auto, decltype, staticassert, and nullptr.

C11 also supports library features (e.g., moving the TR1 components from std::tr1 namespace directly to std namespace). Were also considered, but delayed until some future version due to having a lower priority, which stemmed from the fact that, unlike other costly-to-implement features (lambda, rvalue references), variadic templates would benefit only a minority of library writers rather than the majority of compiler end users. By default, all applications compiled against Visual C 2010 Runtimes only work on Windows XP SP2 and later.

The RTM version (9) is also available in (WinSDK v7.1). SP1 version (9) is available as part of Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 or through the Microsoft Visual C 2010 Service Pack 1 Compiler Update for the Windows SDK 7.1. Visual C 2012 (also known as Visual C 11.0) was released on August 15, 2012. It features improved C11 support, and support for development. Visual C 2013 (also known as Visual C 12.0) was released on October 17, 2013.

It features further C11 and support, and introduces a SDK. Visual C 2015 (also known as Visual C 14.0) was released on July 20, 2015. It features improved C11/14/17 support. Without any announcement from Microsoft, Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 started generating telemetry calls in compiled binaries.

Microsoft Visual C# Express

After some users contacted Microsoft about this problem, Microsoft said they would remove these telemetry calls when compiling with the future Visual Studio 2015 Update 3. The function in question was removed from the Visual C CRT static libraries in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3. Visual C 2017 (also known as Visual C 14.1) was released on March 7, 2017. Visual C 2019 (also known as Visual C 14.2) was released on April 2, 2019.Internal version numbering The predefined macro MSCVER indicates the major and minor version numbers of the Visual C compiler. The macro's value is an integer literal in which the last two digits indicate the minor version number and the preceding digits indicate the major version number.From Visual Studio 2017, MSCVER is. Thus, for example, the version of MSVC 14.1 that ships with Visual Studio 2017 version 15.3.0 sets MSCVER to 1911.

Microsoft recommends using the = operator to test the value of MSCVER.Here are values of MSCVER for various versions of the Visual C compiler. MSC 1.0 MSCVER 100 MSC 2.0 MSCVER 200 MSC 3.0 MSCVER 300 MSC 4.0 MSCVER 400 MSC 5.0 MSCVER 500 MSC 6.0 MSCVER 600 MSC 7.0 MSCVER 700 MSVC 1.0 MSCVER 800 MSVC 2.0 MSCVER 900 MSVC 4.0 MSCVER 1000 ( Developer Studio 4.0 ) MSVC 4.2 MSCVER 1020 ( Developer Studio 4.2 ) MSVC 5.0 MSCVER 1100 ( Visual Studio 97 version 5.0 ) MSVC 6.0 MSCVER 1200 ( Visual Studio 6.0 version 6.0 ) MSVC 7.0 MSCVER 1300 ( Visual Studio.

Shields, Nathan P. (June 8, 2018). This alone is not a dispositive link, as Visual C 6.0, released in 1998, still has proponents mostly because it does not require the installation of Microsoft’s.NET framework in order to run, as later versions of Visual C do. This page stresses that Users must also be running Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 2000. Retrieved from.

.The Visual C Redistributable Packages install run-time components of Visual C libraries. These components are required to run C applications that are developed using Visual Studio 2015 and link dynamically to Visual C libraries. These package can be used to run such applications on a computer even if it does not have Visual Studio 2015 installed. These packages install run-time components of these libraries: C Runtime (CRT), Standard C, MFC, C AMP, and OpenMP.To find out what's new in Visual Studio 2015, see the.
