What language is the .Net Framework written in
-
I am curious as to what language is the .Net framework written in, i.e., all the assemblies and classes that we use when write code in C#, what langauge was used to create those standard .Net libraries, assemblies, DLLs, and whatever else they will end up calling it. :-)
It could be VB.NET for all we know :suss: The core assemblies are ILDASM-able to IL code, so they are all .NET anyway. I assume they are pre-JITed.

From what I've seen in Rotor, most of it seems to be C# wrappers around C++ implementations. Certainly, anything with OS coupling like semaphores and threads, since all this stuff requires unsafe memory accessors. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

So is supporter icon the more potent of the two. Or should there be a supporter + editor icon and you will be the only one with that:) Meg Rules

Arn't editors supporters? A supporter isn't nessesseraly an editor. A=>B (=> - Leads to)

An editor is someone who rips apart your articles. A supporter is someone who bought VS.NET or MSDN from the CP Store.

I don't believe the "editor" bit has been flipped yet (as Chris would say), seeing as it doesn't show up yet on the "who's who" list, but I too am curious about this. I thought editor has priority, though. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

The framework is written in C# with some calls imported from the runtime. The runtime is written in C++. There is no use of managed C++ at all. Thanks, Wes

I know that, I was thinking more along the lines that by editing articles he is helping CP.

MC++ was used to write managed wrappers for DirectX 9. I know its not part of the framework, but is handy when it comes to COM interop as it gives the best performance. Cheers, Kannan
