Could anyone point me to a "Commonly Used Types and Namespaces" chart for C++?

I'm a newbie and I was wondering if anyone point me to a link for a "Commonly Used Types and Namespaces" chart like this .NET Framework one:

except for C++ rather than .NET?

but they use the same CLR so if you're talking about c++.net it would use the same chart...are you talking about c++ 6?

Ok, I guess in this case I need an explanation rather than a chat, haha. I thought there was no C++ .NET and that the Visual Studio IDE just let you code in C++.

This is making less sense to me the more I think about. Isn't the advantage of using C++ supposed to be quick programs low-level programs for whatever environment your working in? How can that be the case if C++.NET needs to go through a CLR middleman?

Also, what is Standard C++ and that whole STL thing? How much will I have to relearn after reading a generic C++ book to do C++.NET? How different are they?
I always figured that C# was just the .NET version of C++. I'm so confused...
well C++ has CLR version that uses the System namepace.  I can't say exactly how it uses it, but it appears those libraries can be used with C++
I've looked over...for the most part, the CLR has some small subtle differences, and will likely fade like vista...doesn't seem to have much of a purpose.  I tried to use the libraries of System and intellisense didn't even pull them up...I'm looking for a poster...only has keybinding post for C++

YES, it does.  There is no need to use any .NET if you did not wish to.

As for the chart, sorry I don't know of any link.
I agree, andy, however as stated there was an option to use System...and i doubt hardcore C++ users ever really used it except maybe at one time to see if it was useful...probably why its fading.

Also, as previously stated, I only see a key binding chart.

What has the comment accepted to do with a chart for C++ commonly used types and namespaces?  It is a .net piece of information - exactly what you said you didn't want.
