no .net in vista???
-
i was talking with a developer friend of mine about the new windows vista, and he told me that the new shell doesn't even ship with the .net framewok. now this wories me because i am a learning developer myself, and if .net was as big of a mistake as he explained, then the last ooooh, 6 months of my life have been a complete waste. is there any truth to his claims?

Um, wrong. Many new OS features will only be exposed thru managed interfaces. medicenpringles wrote: if .net was as big of a mistake as he explained Now, tell me more about this, I need a good laugh. ;) --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~!

well if you really want to know. he says .net is a mistake because the file size of apps made in, for example vb.net as opposed to the vb6 equivalent is considerably larger, and, to quote him "anything that depends on a framework is useless." -- modified at 12:36 Thursday 1st September, 2005

I've not used VB6, but I'm sure it came with a framework because there is a version of it in .NET to assist code migration so it doesn't need to be completely rewritten. I think it is in the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace. Sounds to me like he doesn't want to learn new technologies and is trying to drag others back with him in the vain hope that if he manages to drag enough people the world will stop moving forward.

The .NET Frame work is shared by both VB.NET and C#. You can also write Managed C++ code in it. Colon has it right; this guy just doesn’t want to move forward in time. ------------------------------- DEBUGGING : Removing the needles from the haystack.
