Microsoft not recomenting managed developement. isn't it ?

I agree with that,but in their latest products like visual studio 2005 and above...? Also Microsoft already stated that they have no plans to release a managed DirectX support. :confused: :confused:

Windows is not a managed OS. Therefore, new OS APIs must not be managed if they are to be used by... the OS! Remember, one of the big goals for .NET was to make using native APIs from a managed environment easier.

Visual studio 2010 uses .net (WPF), Visual 2005 is not the LATEST.

They use WPF layer above directX. Please do some research before coming out the statements that are completely incorrect.

And it worked, I don't think I could go back to my C++/Win32/MFC/COM days again :)

That would be because they are steering people towards XNA. Oh, surprise surprise, XNA is available as managed code. I do agree that in their latest products, like Windows 3.11 and Quick C, they aren't using .NET.

When I get home tonight I'm loading Win 3.11 and Quick C for a deep smell of nostalgia and I may load the Programmers Workbench for good measure.

But i think in a different way. If we have deep knowledge about a subject then whats the need of a mediator like CLR to execute. It should only cause some performance issues when we doing some system side programming like video related works. If we are using managed code for this purpose we must need to work under CLR. So i think Microsoft looking for performance rather than look and feel... :laugh: :laugh:

Because managed code is for babies. Real men code in C and C++. :)

Which we pay dearly for. In VS2008, the whole VS architecture was completely COM-based, shining through at every corner of writing addins. I never found any mention that that was replaced.
