No, they are native applications that host the .NET runtime. Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

And Windows Defender Beta 2 is written in Managed C++ apparently. Kevin

This article had me rolling on the floor. Is this guy for real? http://www.grimes.demon.co.uk/dotnet/vistaAndDotnet.htm[^] In the executive summary: Microsoft appears to have concentrated their development effort in Vista on native code development. In contrast to PDC03LH, Vista has no services implemented in .NET and Windows Explorer does not host the runtime, which means that the Vista desktop shell is not based on the .NET runtime. The only conclusion that can be made from these results is that between PDC 2003 and the release of Vista Beta 1 Microsoft has decided that it is better to use native code for the operating system, than to use the .NET framework. (I bolded the last) The "only" conclusion??? And so what? This is sort of a "duh" to me, writing an OS in native code. But I love this, near the end of a long and pointless article counting how many dll's Vista uses that are managed: My conclusion is that Microsoft has lost its confidence in .NET. They implement very little of their own code using .NET. The framework is provided as part of the operating system Lost confidence??? :rolleyes: The real reason, probably, is so the EU doesn't sue them for entangling the OS with .NET! hahaha.

BizTalk[^]. Both 2004 and 2006 are completely written in C#. That's 1.5 million LOC in 2004...and probably a lot more in 2006.
Are you sure 2004 was 100% managed code, David? Regards, Nish

The Ultimate Grid - The #1 MFC grid out there!Don't know about 2004 but 2006 apparently is. A colleague of mine did a week's BizTalk 2006 training in Seattle a few months ago and when I asked him about this he said yes. Of course, you never know, it could just be MS spin! But in any case I expect it's at least a substantial majority in C#. Kevin

Isn't there something fundamental to the design of the runtimes that prevents multiple versions from being combined in a single process? Seems like a good enough reason to keep them out of widely-used OS components to me... :rolleyes:

I do know the IDE code was based on classic VB's IDE. I don't know if they ported it over to .NET or not though. Jeremy Falcon

It's not completely managed. Jeremy Falcon
Yep it's a mixed app, both native and managed, but what large application uses 100% managed code, honestly? There are some things not possible with high level frameworks where you have to call some Win32 API, some native component, etc...our large rich client, while mostly managed, uses some native calls because there is no other option. It's not a slam on .NET, it simply that some things are actually operating-system specific or application-specific and have no reason to expose a managed equivalent (given that the OS or app is not managed code). When I think of a "managed application", I think of an app that uses the Common Language Runtime in some way.

The .NET runtime exposes most of the API. I don't see why you'd need to mix managed and unmanged for most cases. Jeremy Falcon

Yes, there is. That limitation is the primary reason our add-ins are written in 100% native code...otherwise we'd have been forced to develop in VS2002 if we wanted to support it. :~ Anna :rose: Currently working mostly on: Visual Lint :cool: Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

I agree. For our codebase, about 97% is written in managed code. That's pretty good, an a testament to the wide-coverage of the framework.

Bah! It's a dead issue. There are a *lot* of applications out there written in fully managed code. We have a large commercial app used in over 34 countries at last count that is written in fully managed code. If I was writing an OS I would use native code as well. You don't pick up a screwdriver to hammer in a nail unless your an idiot. His argument is dogs bollocks.

Hey Judah That link says Visual Studio 2005 has parts written in managed code. And I am pretty sure it's a very low percentage. I don't remember where or when I asked that, but I did ask someone and the reply was that VS 2005 is a native app, that uses a little managed code. Regards, Nish

Interestingly that link also says BizTalk 2004 has parts written in managed code. So I guess Stone got his facts wrong when he said it was written in managed code. The 1.5 million lines he said must be the total LOC out of which a % might be in managed code. Regards, Nish
