Why Visual Studio in C++ is not as intelligent as it's in C#? [closed]

Question

I'm wokring on a homework in C++ in Visual Studio 2010, I've found that Visual Studio is not as wonderful as it is in C#. No intellisense , No code formating and stupid load of error messages which they might be gone togother if one error has been fixed.

Why that?

Answer 1

C++ is a much much more complex language than C# which makes it very hard for a tool to parse and provide Intellisense feedback.

Answer 2

Microsoft has not been putting much effort into its C++ tools since .NET appeared. In a lot of ways, the current IDE is worse than Visual C++ 6.

Here is the Visual C++ team's blog entry about recent C++-related work and why there is no Intellisense for C++/CLI: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2011/03/03/10136696.aspx
