Number of times I had to resort to Pinvoke: 0. I am sure there are cases which are valid. I also dont consider this as a major weakness. Its not something which is done every day. I have no idea about editor. Thats the same for both, managed and unmanaged and is a non issue. What matters is .Net framework. .Net development is light years ahead of what MFC/Win32 is(even today). No comparison. What I find odd is that this needs to be even talked about. -- Ajay

Again may be specific to your needs, we do absolutely no unmanaged programming, or C++ for that matter, C# is the way to go if you are unmanaged. -- Ajay
From: Tom Serface on 30 Mar 2010 16:30 Yes, the application we are doing is very dependent on file system access. I also had to grab icons from files and get thumbnails of video and image files (even some types that GDI+ doesn't support). I confess that it was different then the typical "access my database" application.

Bloody hell, as a Brit would say! Out of curiosity, and if you don't mind, what's the problem!? (You can point me to the offending IL if that's easiest). Goran.

As a result we will have not Opera, no Firefox, and possible no Flash on the new mobile devices (unless MS decides to make some exceptions). -- Mihai Nita [Microsoft MVP, Visual C++] http://www.mihai-nita.net ------------------------------------------ Replace _year_ with _ to get the real email |
