    Hi all, I am designing a project which can be separated into two layers. 1. The user interface 2. the business logic. The business logic has to be developed as COM components (since it will need to be reused in other environments) The question is in which language (environment) to write the users interface. Should I do it in Visual Basic or Visual C++ (or other)? Thanks in advance Alberto Gattegno Software Engineer http://www.itgil.com

        Depends :) With VB you will finish your job somewhat faster, but if you want to deploy your applications to many customers, it can be hell. You can NEVER be sure that a VB application will install successfully. However, if you have a limited number of customers, it will not be a big problem. I vote pro drink :beer:

          I have made many installbles in VB using the Deployment Wizard and i guess that the VB installable always works fine...I mean why will it not work when it is having all the dependent Dlls...?

            VB is the best choice if you do not intend to distribute your any of the component to client's machine. Apart from that VB application has Lots of dependency file which when installed may or may not creat a conflict problem . that totally depends how compatible(I mean version of the dependent files which you ignored while installing your VB application)) is your development machine and the staging machine. Generally the size of a VB app will be approx more than twice the size of VC++ app.:|
