General C# Question - GUI's
-
Hi, I would like to know what are some of the benefits of using C# vs C++ (MFC) specifically regarding GUI's. I've heard that it offers the ease of creating gui's that visual basic has offered developers for years, but I would like to know what specifically is more "easier" in C#? I've developed GUI's using MFC for many years, and at a first glance at C# GUI toolbox it looked pretty similar to what i've been used to and didn't find anything that is much different. Any help and pointers from the experts out here would be greatly appericated. Thanks

The language is suited to putting applications together quickly. Layout and dynamic adding of controls is easier than MFC (and I speak as an ex MFCer here). It's quicker to put together pattern and tier based solutions than C++ is, plus the event handling code is far easier to work with than the MFC Message Maps. Plus (and this is a big plus on my part), it's much easier to ignore Document View and actually work with patterns like Model View Controller (MVC).
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

The extension of WPF support for VB and C# allows for much better GUIs in those languages in my opinion.
