Lost in the Sea of .Net Mania

Hi all, Can someone simply explain the relationship between these terms? MFC7 and VC.Net C# and .Net Framework C# and VC.Net MFC7 and C# It seems very confusing because they are inter-related and very different from each other... Any help to clarify these terms will be greatly appreiciated Cheers, wilche

Well, C# is not C++. C# is the new java-style language from Microsoft. The .NET framework is the set of common functionality for each of the .NET languages to use. It contains all the types, class libraries and garbage collection. Hopefully that'll start to make things a little clearer.

Once again thank MS for such brilliant decisions it made when naming all this stuff ;P The .NET framework is Microsoft's new platform for creating windows and web-based applications. It features strong typing, a garbage collector, a JIT compile, plus a rich base class library. Programs that use the .NET framework are said to be 'managed'. VC++.NET is version 7 of the Visual C++ compiler. It allows you to create both regular programs and managed ones. Managed programs are created by using the Managed Extensions for C++ (MC++). Version 7 has more standards support and also includes version 7 of MFC. C# is one of the many languages that targets .NET; it borrows features from Java, C++, and VB. It can ONLY produce managed code. Quick rundown: MFC7 and VC.NET - VC++.NET contains MFC7 C# and .NET Framework - C# is the premier language for developing applications targetting the .NET platform. C# and VC.NET - C# is one language, VC++.NET (VC++ 7) is another MFC7 and C# - MFC is a class library for C++, C# is a language for .NET. HTH, James
