fkheng Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 I am in a big big dilemma over which language i should use for my final year project... Which language would be suitable, VC++6.0 or VC++.NET? Which would be better or more applicable for the current market? Also, wat about C#? I really need opinions, I'm really finding it hard to decide... Quote Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades, and can you loose the cords of Orion? - God to Job...

fkheng Posted September 16, 2003 Author Posted September 16, 2003 any reasons, is it better than C++ 6 and C++ .NET? Quote Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades, and can you loose the cords of Orion? - God to Job...
Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted September 16, 2003 Administrators Posted September 16, 2003 Probably a bit easier than C++ as it removes the whole pointer issue and introduces useful data types (arrays, strings etc) without having to learn the MFC / ATL / STL implementations.

*Gurus* Derek Stone Posted September 16, 2003 *Gurus* Posted September 16, 2003 C# is, for all intents and purposes, a cleaner version of C++, one which I enjoy far better than the sometimes inane C++ ways. One can be much more productive in C# due to its cleaner syntax and the .NET base class libraries, which extend far beyond the MFC available in Visual C++. Without knowing the software you intend to develop it's hard to give you an entirely educated answer, but I can say with comfort that C# is likely to be the more intelligent choice. Also take note that any C++ code developed in Visual Studio .NET can be compiled, without changes, as either unmanaged (native) executables and libraries, or managed .NET assemblies. This is a huge selling point for developers switching from Visual Studio 6 to Visual Studio .NET. Quote Posting Guidelines
fkheng Posted September 17, 2003 Author Posted September 17, 2003 i see, hm.......looks like i'll be picking up C# then...thank you fellas! anyway, C# uses the .NET framework right? Therefore, i can also create GUIs with C#? if i use C++.NET, can i create GUIs without relying on MFC? wat is ATL or STL?

fkheng Posted September 17, 2003 Author Posted September 17, 2003 also, u were saying derek stone, that without knowing the application i want to develop it's hard to decide, yeah, that's true... honestly, i really am unsure of what application to develop! i mainly want to pick up a language...my problem is that i am not a creative person, therefore i really do not know how i should make use of technologies even when i know what i can do with it... wat kind of applications would C# be more suited for?

*Gurus* Derek Stone Posted September 18, 2003 *Gurus* Posted September 18, 2003 Nearly anything short of operating systems and device drivers. Quote Posting Guidelines
