What is the major drawback in C# .NET?

Christian Graus

The major drawback is probably that anyone can read your code. This is also true of VB.NET, but VB has other drawbacks that C# does not :-)

How do you say that any one can read the code. How come this is possible.This is not open source rite. Please give me some proof.

.NET Intermediate compiled language(IL) is very easy to decompile.

Compile up your application as Release mode so that you know that you can't cheat by retrieving debug symbols. Then, attempt to open it up using Lutz Roeder's Reflector[^] - there you go, you're back at the code you started with (almost).

Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

often better written in my experience. The compiler optimisations seem to work I've also seen people use this to convert VB to c#. Russell

LOL - another person comes to terms with the hard reality. .NET is compiled to an intermediate language, which is compiled by the frame work to run, and easily decompiled to read, using tools such as reflector.

Yeah, reflection is at the core of all .NET language converters, I believe.

Did any one take the Source code from the Client Side. Is that possible in c#.net.

No dude its not possible as the code reside at the server ........:omg::omg::omg: If it could possible then Microsoft had Shut down :laugh::laugh:

how can i convert my C# Code to VB.Nets? i mean how to decompile / any other process? thnx in advance prashanth I received this by direct email. The trick that i've seen used is to compile the code and then use reflector to decompile it. I know someone who uses this to convert code examples that he finds on the web from vb.net to c#. He also did vb6 to c# using the VB upgrade wizard and reflector. I'm pretty sure that reflector allows you to decompile to vb. Russell

That's not a drawback of the language itself. What I like least about C# is... it doesn't break from C far enough in some cases: I like that switch statements don't fall through, that's great, but I don't like that the break statement is required, I understand why the decision was made this way, but I don't like it. I would rather that break only applied to loops... have you ever tried to break a loop from within a switch?
