Can .NET work as Visual Studio6.0?
-
Hi All, I develop plugins for graphic apps. So far I used Visual Studio 6.0 also because it was the tool of choice for the SDKs of such graphic apps. Now some vendors have moved their SDKs to .NET So far I only heard bad rumors about the "opennes" of the code that the .NET IDE produces and on top of that I don't care to be net-ready or anything of the kind, I only need to process pixels. At risk of sounding naive and ignorant my questions are: Is there an independent and reliable source where I can read more about pros and cons of using .NET? When is really necessary to use it and when is only trendy or redundant? Is there a way (or secret recipe) to turn .NET into Visual Studio 6.0 or something close to it? Thank you.

Yeah, by unistalling .NET and installing visual studio 6. Seriously though, .net is neither trendy or redundant. Depending on the language you are coming from you'll be amazed at how much more you can accomplish in .net compared to your previous language. Things that used to be difficult or require 3rd party tools are now easy and built-in to the language. .net 2003 comes with an obfuscator(?) or you can get a tool for .net 2002 that will do it for you.
