We're stuck at 1_30_0 with BCB6.
Since we've got to change compiler anyway we're moving to C# for the bulk of our work.
I am always amused when a C++ programmer, who is going to be using .Net, says they have to change compilers and then mentions they will be using C#. Are you aware that a C++ implementation for .Net already exists called C++/CLI and that you can directly used Boost code using C++/CLI in mixed mode programming under .Net ?
For most programmers who are moving to .Net, you are correct. However in this particular case, Simon would /still/ have to change compiler - from BCB6 to VS2005. Given that, it is not unreasonable to decide to go the whole hog and go to C#. (It's not what I would do, but ...)
