    No it means VC++ Express needs the .Net framework.

    VC6 projects will import very nicely in VC2005. It was a major complaint about VC2003 and the C++ team listened.

    I can't speak about the compilability using the Intel compiler though, as I have no experience with it, but I haven't personally heard complaints about it.

    My current develop environment is VC++6.0 with VSSP5.0 and Intel C++ Compiler 9.0.Intel C++ Compiler 9.0 is not support VC++ 2005 Express.So I use the VC++ 2003 tested my DX application,it have many bugs when build it by VC++ 2003,but it worked correctly in VC 6.0.Can I use the VC6.0 project in VC++ 2005

    I install the VC++ 2005 Express must install the framework first.Is that mean:DX10 and DX9.0c must have framework to work

    VC++ 6 hasn't been supported by the DirectX SDK for quite a while now. If you go back far enough you can use DX9, but I think it was somewhere around December 2004 that VC6 support was dropped.

    The short easy answer is no. You'd be better of downloading VC++ 2005 Express (which is free) and using that.

    The .NET Framework is not required for DirectX applications to work, unless you're writing against the Managed DirectX libraries.
