    Did C# really make life that easier???!!! :) Why was it named C#? Any one knows that the sign (#) means "sharp" and it is used in the music and standard notations? It's been so long that only C# stuff are getting posted! May be time for renaming the www.codeproject.com, a www.c#deproject.com Everytime am up on CP, I "C" C# and .NET & ASP! What's up with MFC and Win32! What to feel now? :-D X| :omg:

I was told that is was the 2 plus symbols from C++ overlapping and then it eventually became # - which as well is being 'sharp' in music - also means 'octothorpe'. also it is not surprising that C# stuff is being posted most of the things have already been done in MFC and ATL etc that people would find it hard to write anything new. If you want to make article writing easier, just wander through the MFC stuff and rewrite them in C# - instant article minimum effort - I'd do it myself but I can't be bothered.

        a) we got a new toy b) this wheel certainly is round (although I#m still used to the bumpy ride) c) writing a mfc article is sooo yesterday - who#s gonna use it, anyway? d) csharpproject sertainly is something a Czech can pronounce, but think of all the poor americans! P.S. I guess it should originally be C' - "dereived from C" - but they made thesame typo I do always... ;)

                urrrm I agree, crap articles are being posted by the handful, it seems the editors should be deleting crap articles will less that 2 lines of explaination. X| I feel the site should be split between C++ / C# / ASP.NET. Maybe the real software engineers can focus on good content in the C++ site. Just a thought to brighten up the day :(

                    I think you need glasses. There are 3 new articles posted in C++/MFC on Dec 8, 3 updates on Dec 7, 3 new articles on Dec 6 plus some updates, there were a rash of new articles after the Thanksgiving break. Marc Help!

                      ...by the handful... I'm worried about that too, but so far it doesn't seem too bad. Plus, the rating system makes it pretty easy to weed out the crap. If the ratings were posted on the main page next to each article, that might help even more! Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

Anybody who uses pure Win32 nowadays really needs to wake up and smell the roses. C# isn't yet up to the job of replacing MFC, but for web-based applications there isn't anything to touch it. Sadly even with all the failures, people seem to be pursing the web application dream. I really feel for the WTL boys, such a good class library but one that MS has tried hard to bury.

                                  # as used in musical notation means, half a step above C, which seems fitting. However, it's actually the intersection of two groups of ++ laid over each other and sligtly skewed. Notice how # has 4 +'s in it :) -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

                                    wierd - I am a C++ programmer who makes a good living even in this economic clime by using C# now. I use whatever language is good for the job (except VB - don't need to now I have C#). If he is such a die hard C++ developer what is he doing here? I assumed all die hards wouldn't trust a line of code not written by themselves and therefore community sites would be useless to them - the old NDH scenario.

                                      # as used in musical notation means, half a step above C, which seems fitting. However, it's actually the intersection of two groups of ++ laid over each other and sligtly skewed. Notice how # has 4 +'s in it :) -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

                                      hmm 4 +'s vs 2 +'s to make the logo - since we are into efficiency then I vote for 2

                                      Technically speaking the dictionary would define Visual Basic users as programmers.

                                          Well, we certainly saw this all coming, and that was the driving force behind the tabs you see on the main page of the site. If you click on the MFC/C++ tab, then all the content, menus and questions you're presented with should be restricted to MFC/C++. The lounge of course is un-filtered). David
