I've been learning the .NET framework in vC++ for a while and I'm thinking of going to C#.
I'd like to here the opinions of others who have experience with both.

Thanks.

For Windows forms and Office integration, C# is a lot easier to develop in.

But of course, that's just my opinion.

Thanks for your reply, I have since tried both and I agree with your opinion, for most of the things I do C# is easier and just as 'powerful'.

C# is also supported by more things. Such as language specific tasks, and ASP.NET. Where as C++.NET isn't.
Not to mention the easy at which you can develope with C#.

c# is basically all the excellent parts if c++ with the ease of use of visual basic

I got a c# book called c# in easy steps for under £20 its Really noob though except at the end it does ADO and GDI graphics

But the power of VC++ is still unbeatable by C#. Am I correct? Since VC++ is unmanaged whereas C# is managed. VB and VC# programs run in the same style. VC++ is twice faster in accessing memory objects, arithmetic operations and database access.

But, I didn't tried with unsafe code in C#. Some of my friends are telling that unsafe code in C# will do better (but do it with careful).

for some performance issues VC++ is greater and Network applications also VC++ is better, I worked in network application for small period by VC++, C# and Java
really really VC++ was veryyyyyyyy good and then comes C# then JAVA (As I hate it)
C# for ADO application is better. as well as your preferred language for web development if you came from C++ world.
Look, you should make use of IDE, if you have big project use the appropriate language in appropriate module.

I think one should be very careful when comparing pure c++ and c++.net. The two are very different beasts.

If you must use dotnet use c# or vb.net.

yes Iamthwee, my comparison built on this, So what do you see, Is VC.net is better than C# in all cases?
