I've done a lot of programming over the past 25 years (started with Fortran for mainframes, C for 8 bit microcontrollers, and C++ with some VB for Windows apps). Now I use C# almost exclusively precisely because of the .NET framework.
I have also done some C++/CLI for interoperating .NET DLLs with native applications.
My point?
Language and tools are just that.... Tools to get a job done. Pick the best one for the job at hand.
Having said that, if I were doing cross platform work I would use Mono and avoid the parts of the .NET framework not supported by Mono. Frankly, it takes me a lot fewer lines of code to do the same thing using C# and .NET versus C++.

Hi All,
I feel suitably humbled I know I should "ask the duck" as Richard Deeming suggested on Tuesday.
I just find the syntax more awkward that I should. I really only have done this style of program in VB6 and not VB.Net, C# is preferred for this kind of job but I can't use it as the end customer only has a VB kiddie (who I bet wears a base ball cap backwards, doesn't believe in belts & says "Dude" every five minutes). I am suitably humbled by asking the most obvious questions & offer thanks to CPallini & Griff (sorry!!!)

What's funny back in my C dos days I had a header file that was used for debugging hardware called
Whiskey mostly as It was easy to spot #include "Whiskey" (and yes before you ask it had a function called Soda!)

Zerothly, it is a rather amusing show on the Home Service.
What got me was the following choice, you may have one of these:
- Miley Cyrus as your daughter, or
- Bono as your dad.
It's a hard call.

No brainer: Bono.

I'm not sure, you'd have to put up with Bonio's sanctimonious drivel. At least with Miley there's *something* to look at...

And you got even a tiny amount "excited" that would be just horrible!
As your daughter, it's a lose/lose situation.

Well, it's not such a big deal to everybody;

C'mon Ollie - let's move to the Soapbox after all...

Meh, she'll be working long after I'm a doddery old fool and so the money keeps coming in. Bonio is finished once Larry hangs up his sticks.

At least with Miley frequent spankings might be therapeutic.

“Oh, you can't help that,” said the Cat: “we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.”
