smile you da man, a much better breakdown than I can do, with my limited programming experiences.
nice job of clarifying for the gent. talk to you later, inthane. For Blind Programming assistance, Information, Useful Programs, and Links to Jamal Mazrui's Text tutorial packages and Applications, visit me at:

Hello Inthane, You're partially right. The c# language doesn't import all the power of c++, because it uses the .net runtime, just like vb.net. Microsoft says that the binaries of the two languages are almost the same (not in internal form but in mathers such as performanse and size), and thus that you can choose freely what of the two languages you want and you're likely to have the same results. A part from this, some people state that c# is faster and the binaries are shorter, some people says that vb is faster and etc etc ... a google search on it will give you a bunch of articles, discussions and opinions on this topic. But c# as I said will compile a intermediate code, much like java does, while c or c++ will compile native, platform dependant code and so far it is faster and it doesn't depend on a runtime interpreter. C++ is also more powerfull because it will allow you to do things like controlling dealocation of stuff in the heap and direct memory management, while .net languages and java will depend on a garbage colector and such. So far, it isn't good to compare c# and c++ when it comes to internal behavior and code generation. In fact, operating systems have been written in c++ but they won't be written in c# for example. What Graham is asking can be * and is used to be * made using, for example, microsoft COM+ protocol, where it is possible to create a c++ (therefore native and fast) component, which exposes an interface which can be accessed via .net languages or any other language that understand how to comunicate with it. Other than this, the win32 api is written in C and stored in dlls, which can be also accessed by any language that can provide a way of using them. Marlon 2007/11/13, inthaneelf <inthaneelf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:I think that's called C#, smilefrom what I have been told, it has the power of C/C++ with the IDE ease ofVB, just as VB.net looks a bit more like C# in format now, instead of the far more simple english like form it had in VB 5 and VB 6. I know when Iconverted my VB 6 version of the fruit basket into VB.net, what came out the other end, although it worked just fine, looked a lot different than the 6code that went in the front end of the conversion. and that is as well, from my understanding, in part the bases of the .netenvironment, you can build parts in one or the other language, and combinethem into a working project. regards, inthane.
