From: Ginny Caughey on 12 Aug 2010 16:19 I did read your reply, and I think most people using Vulcan don't care about all the PInvokes under the covers. The Vulcan runtime has them as well. (And so does the .NET runtime, at least for now.) I'm pretty sure Brian and team considered the scenarios that most people want very carefully before committing to all the work they've done. Face it, you and I are outliers. ;-) -- Ginny Caughey www.wasteworks.com
From: Willie Moore on 12 Aug 2010 17:45 Ginny, I guess that I would be considered a bit of an outlier too as I am using none vo compatible classes. I make very few uses of the runtime. but I do use the compiler as I like the syntax. Every language will have it's holdouts. If you go through the dotNet framework 4, you will still find the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility assembly. They have a couple just for the vb6 folks who wont embrace the new framework classes.

From: Ginny Caughey on 12 Aug 2010 18:55 Hi Willie, Yes you are an outlier too. Welcome. ;-) But you and Erik and I all know that computer languages are just tools to use - not religions. We pick and choose what we need for the task at hand. -- Ginny Caughey www.wasteworks.com

Ginny, Outliers? <g> If you criticize Grafx or Vulcan you are more treated as outcast.... One of the ideas behind .NET was to create a platform independed framework. In short: the app is the same and every OS has or should has its own runtime. Of course that runtime pInvokes on the platform API of the OS. At least this is/was the idea. Where the Vulcan compiler might be able to compile a exe that runs on different platforms, Vulcan is more than just the compiler. Vulcan with its own runtime and classlibs full of pInvokes does not comply to the .NET architecture and now we know it will never.
