    It's got nothing to do with the standard ( which is in the procss of changing, but won't include this ). It's C++/CLI, Microsofts extensions to c+ for .NET The express editions do not suport MFC, so you may find C# is better than being the 9th person in the world to try C++/CLI.

        Sweet, thanks for the heads up. :)

        I'm finding the only constant in software development is change it self.

          I downloaded it. Very cool of Microsoft. I generated a quick 'Class' project and it appears to have generated different C++ code then I remember, but I guess this is standards based C++ in version 7? #pragma once using namespace System; namespace editor { public ref class Class1 { // TODO: Add your methods for this class here. }; } That code was kind foriegn to me :P My question is. I haven't couched VSC++ for at least a year. MFC is still quite fresh in my mind as is C++ (I have tinkered in C++ but with Gtk, Qt, etc). I am wanting to develop a source editor similar to that in visual studio (source folding, etc) but I wonder if I should: 1) Stick with what I know (C++/MFC) 2) Pick up a book on C# and tackle this control using C# Obviously the latter is intriging as learning something new never hurts. But I want to start ASAP as I'm impatient to get started. Is C# going to take me a while before I begin developing custom controls? Is it a simple matter of deriving from a CView and implementing that classes require methods, etc? Is there difficult wiring to just get started in C#? The language syntax is obviously easiest, but the setup kind has me thrown off a bit. p.s-Does anyone know the component name for that editor control in Visual Studio? Is it reusable? Cheers :)

          No, I don't know, but I sure wish someone else would chime in that does know! If it isn't an editor control, does anyone know of one that is just like it besides Scintilla?

            At least FORTRAN (or FORTRASH) has a nicer syntax that C++/CLI :rolleyes:

                  I didn't find the C++/CLI syntax to be bad. It's not as nice as C#, IMO, but not awful like MC++.

                    Im not sure if this is what you're asking but Ive beenw rong before lol. If you're looking for a different IDE to work in I switch back and forth between Visual Studio and SharpDevelop[^]. Its an Open Source IDE for working in C#,VB.Net and Boo. You can also download the source control and modify it anyway you like, to fit your needs.

                      It's an improvement, but it's too late.

                          I agree. C# was easy for me to learn since at the university, they pushed Java after teaching C++.
