    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:

    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:

          Microsoft still using Win32, MFC and COM technologies in their latest products,In my knowledge almost all the products. I am really surprised about why they are not using managed code for their products ? :omg:

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

              Smacks of WPF VS2010.

                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.

                And in doing so they have made accessing the hardware of the machine a nightmare. USB? GPIO pins? X|

                    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.

                    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.

                      Hay, a hammer is the most usefull tool in the box. Ever wanted to get of a big stubborn nut? Hammer and cold chisel. It'll come off in seconds. :)
