    Hello, I have programming in VB, C# and have done a few applications in Visual C++ 6. But how do all these programs compare against each other. I know that C# and VB.Net are about the same as they are run in the .Net framework, so they both depend on the .Net framework. But C# allows you to have better coding syntax as it is based on C++ and java. I was told that Visual C++ unmanaged code was better than C#, VB.Net and managed Visual C++, only if it has been coded efficiently. My question is what type of programs would you write with each of them? I was once told that Windows operating systems 2000, ME, and XP are written in unmanaged Visual C++. If l am wrong with any of my comments, please correct me. Many thanks in advance. Steve

      You're wanting to compare apples to oranges to grapes. Why? A screwdriver is comparable to a hammer is comparable to pliers in that they are all tools and all are made of metal. Other than that, they are designed for different applications.

        I think he wanted to for what kind of project you gonna use one or the other. In my case, I coded in vb6 and vb.net, I was using those when I wanted a little program to do something basic cause it was taking me less time. Or when I was coding software wich the rapidity isn't important and when I was using Database. Now, I am coding in visual c++ 6.0 cause I am coding real time applications, so I can't really use others. My other choice would be visualbasic cause that's the only 2 way the api I have are coded with, and it would be too slow in those case. I also use it, for small applications now, cause I am used to code in it, so to go with vb would take me a little more time now. For c# I don't know, I never used it yet and didn't have the time to learn it.
