That's like asking a VB'er if 1 + 1 is 2

MFC is still popular, but no so much as C#. I still use it on a daily basis, mostly for real-time stuff. Anything .NET can't hold a flame to C++ speed wise.

How in the world could you possibly know such a thing? :rolleyes: Have you polled everyone, or at least a representative sample?

Thank you for answering my questions.Can you give me some tips for learning MFC & C#,like recommanding some good books for read,it must be very famous so I can get it easily.

Microsoft Foundation Classes(MFC) Library is created with Microsoft that customize win32 library(if you remember Win32 was for c and it has some limited) and insert some things to it.

Why does that answer to the OP question ? Furthermore, your answer is not really correct. First, win32 is not for C. It has a C API but that doesn't mean that you need to write C code to use it. And it doesn't really have some limitations: everything you can do with MFC, you can do that with the win32 API also (of course, this will probably much more time, but still). Second, MFC are basically wrapper classes around the win32 API, which mean they don't really add functionality, they just provide a OO wrapper.

Charting control [v1.2]Win32 Library and Win32 was written in c not for C++,MFC was originaly a customize of Win32 then it inserting object orientation(for example classes) to it also support of somethings was little in it.

It is. You can call it from C++ (due to the inherent backward-compatibility), but it is a simple C-API. Quite old fasioned C, that is. No object orientation or interfaces or derivation like e.g. GTK+ has.

I agree with your point. Though I have no doubt it is true, for the script kiddies outnumber the rest of us by ????, I don't know but it's a lot! For them C# is the new VB and like the old VB will of course be more popular with them than C++. If the noise here on CP is any indication the script kiddie numbers are growing at an alarming rate.

I once asked a transmission mechanic what make of vehicle he saw the most of in his shop. Without hesitation, he said it was Chrysler* vehicles. That could be interpreted in one of two ways: 1) Chrysler makes an inferior product, or 2) there are more Chrysler vehicles on the road than comparable models, so it stands to reason that more Chrysler vehicles will be in the shop than others. Therefore, GM could have an equally faulty vehicle, but if there are less of them on the road, statistically there will also be less of them in the shop, but that is no indicator that they are a better vehicle. * The argument could be made for any make, not just Chrysler.

So that horrible analogy means that you can't tell if their numbers are growing by the posts here on CP? What about the comp.lang.C++ news group?

There may very well be an equal number of "C++" members but they are just not posting, or they are posting at a time when you and I are offline. My point is, you can't tell about one simply because of the apparent lack of the other.
