What is the latest on STL.NET?

    From what I hear, STL.NET got put on the MS back burner. I also heard that some containers and iterators might not make it into the release. I would be really interested in how VC++ compiles libraries like Loki and Boost since QuantLib uses other template libraries.

    Good luck on your book.

    Check this webpage. Doesn't sound good, "next version", that could easily be 3 years from now...

    Ben,

    Here's another idea. Many financial programming books leave out a very important concept: what do you do with the massive amounts of data and the algorithms to analyze them No doubt, you will include a chapter on ADO.NET, but you may also consider some presentation of how SQL Server 2005 can use C++/CLI to write SQL functions, aggregates, triggers, and stored procedures. For instance, using "unsafe" code within SQL Server, you can query a real-time price feed as if it were a SQL table. It's a little off-topic, but something that may be of interest.

    I would love to do that. However, given that the book is due Tuesday and I dont have SQL Server, I dont think I will be able to fir that in!

    Thanks.  Incidentally, my book is on financial programming, which you may already know.  Boost and Quantlib are unforetunately outside the scope of my book.  I would love to write a chapter (which certainly would not do that subtopic any justice) on connecting to Quantlib.  The idea is certainly very interesting though.
