Vista and .NET

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.
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:
Now taking suggestions for the next release of CPhog...
Which is why shell extensions should never be written in .NET unless you absolutely know that your target environment will only have one version of the runtime or that all your shell extensions will only require that particular version.

Haha. I find it funny how many people have never used BizTalk. It's an incredible server product. Takes a while to get used to...but holy crap does it give you a lot of functionality.

:D Makes it easier to comment on, no pesky details to get in the way. (Actually, i had visited the BizTalk product page to try and remember what exactly the product did, but had forgotten what a waste of time such pages are. I think the last time i read a Microsoft product page was shortly after the release of OneNote... and left with the vague suspicion that it was a charting tool of some sort. I eventually figured out what the product did through various bloggers who discussed their use of it, but never bothered with the product site again.)
Now taking suggestions for the next release of CPhog...

Yeah. The other thing is that BizTalk is huge. There are a lot of parts that go into it. So the marketing mumbo-jumbo page isn't going to give you a really clear picture as to what's involved. A better place to look would be this BizTalk Overview[^] page.

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

Everything I quoted said 1.5 Million lines of C# code. C# code can't help but be managed code. And I assume that since they all mention that 2004 was a complete re-write, that it'd all be in C#. Besides, when did this turn into a quest for the 100% managed application? I'd argue that if a majority of the application runs on the CLR, then it can be called a managed application.

Why unmanaged C++ is still the best tool for Shell Extensions[^]. Also, there's a slieu of documentation/articles about CLR Hosting[^] that you can look at.

I posted that before you replied with those links :-) Ignore this post of mine, please. Regards, Nish

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

Bah, any application that ever, directly or indirectly, calls a routine in the C runtime library is, at heart, a C application. If the top 99% are written in something else, well, that just demonstrates the wonderful ability of C apps to host other, lesser, languages... :rolleyes:

One thing's sure. VS 2005's devenv.exe is a mixed-mode app. It may use CLR hosting, but it also has a dependency on mscoree.dll, so it must contain MSIL blocks too. Anyway again, I am not 100% sure of whether it's more native than managed or vice versa, so I won't make any more comments on this :-) Regards, Nish

Not just shell extensions, managed code is not recommended for global hooks either - for the same reasons. Regards, Nish

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.
I disagree that "there are a *lot* of applications" available using fully managed code. At my last job, we spent quite a bit of time debating whether to rewrite our main commercial/shrink-wrapped client application in .NET. We heavily leaned toward .NET but many of us were still concerned whether this was the right decision. One major area of concern was our inability to find examples of shrink-wrapped software written entirely in managed code. To this day, I still haven't found anything comparable to the program we had to write. (I'm not talking about vertical market solutions or the like, though we found nothing their either, but stuff I could buy at a local store.) Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke
