Hello, If you start a new c++ .net project (windows form) the IDE shows
window and generate 2 files (.cpp and .h). If I simple drag and drop button
control into the form and double click the button, the IDE shows me a method
"template" where I can write my code. I wonder why the IDE creates the
template in .h (header) file instead of .cpp file. I've always write
scheleton C++ class in header file and implementation code in .cpp file.
Thanks for help
Mauro

Bottom line because the wizards were designed to generate C# code which does
not use a separate header file.

Thanks Carl for reply.
Are there any changes in Whidbey? I've see that in C++ 2005 express is just
the same: code in header file ;-(

No changes for Whidbey. We investigated changing this, but it turns out the
single file assumption is baked very deeply in the architecture of the
designers. We are looking ways to change it in future releases, but it will
be far from trivial.
