FEATURES
VC++ includes a host of tools and features that ease the process of development. Some of them are as follows:

Class Libraries: VC++ includes class libraries that ease in the process of developing web applications. The libraries available within VC++ are Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), the Active Template Library (ATL) and standard C++ library and the C Run Time Library.

Wizards: VC++ includes wizards that generate a basic framework for the code/application. Developers can enter their code to customize it. Some of the wizards available are App Wizard - that generates a skeleton framework for an entire Windows application and the Class Wizard that generates the skeleton code for a function or a class.

Syntax Highlighting: Code written in the VC++ editors is highlighted making it more readable and easier to spot errors in the programs. For example, all comments in within the code are displayed in one colour and all keywords in another.

Auto Completion: The auto completion features provides developers with an easy means to refer to functions and methods/parameters being referenced in the program. When a developer types code after a markup character (a character which indicates that the auto completion feature has to be referenced) such as ".", the auto completion feature shows a drop-down list of all relevant classes/methods/functions that match the text entered, the developer can choose from the list instead of typing the code thereby making it faster and easier to write code.'

Compiler: VC++ provides compliers for the C and C++ programming languages. The compiler help in building and compiling the C++ code.

Debugging: VC+ includes a host of debugging features that makes it easy to detect errors in the code. It also provides support for remote debugging.

APPLICATIONS
At Offshore.NET Development, we make use of VC++ to develop Windows based applications using the C++ programming language. The various types of solutions, among others, that can be developed include the following:

Enhancements: We offer to develop enhancements/additional features for existing software applications. The enhancements help in extending the basic functionality of the software. The new components can be easily integrated with the existing product.

Multimedia Tools: We can develop a wide range of multimedia tools that can be used to create and distribute high quality audio and video content. External tools such as web cameras and microphones can be used to record audio/video clips. Through the multimedia tools users can edit the clips and add graphics/animations/effects etc.

Imaging Tools: The imaging tools enable users to import and edit images. Some of the editing features that can be incorporated in the software include features for resizing, adding descriptions, adjusting the contrast/sharpness/brightness, adding transition effects etc. The imaging tools provide users with an easy means to organize images and use them to create photo galleries and slide shows.
