            Using vs.net ide for last 10+ months. But I still missing my shortcuts over here which is replaced with diffrent ones. Like ctrl+shift+g opens the include file etc etc. And also faced some problems at the begining to add oninitdialog() to my dialog class :doh: .

              Why do you use .net ide instead of VS 6.0? your friend:bobi

                My general rule of thumb is: Applications that are complex and large enough to warrant diistribution on media are developed in NET. Applications that are intended to be distributed by download are developed in VS6 to keep the download size smalller. Someday in the future when most people are using an OS that installs the Net Framework already I will use NET exclusively. In the meantime, I don't want to require people who are downloading a small software application to possibly also have to download a 25MB framework file just to get the application to run. Robert

                  I agree with you! Do you think how long the VS 6.0 will replace with .NET entirely? thank you very much your friend:bobi

                    Well, win98 has been around for more than 7 seven years, and a lot of people still use it. Newer versions of XP and Win2003 are the only ones that install the fraemework as standard procedure. VS6 is still very much alive and kicking. :-) Who knows? Years if at all is my guess... :-)

                      It's probably not really important from a practical perspective if or when the actual platform, for example NET, replaces VS6. Rather, the meaningful question is at what point in time does any particular skill become widely obsolete or widely required in the job market? C++ is in general is by no means obsolete the US, but NET has already replaced VS6 in becoming the latest must-have essential skill in much of the job market. So in the important sense, NET has or soon will "replace" VS6 because employer demand for NET skills have either already surpassed, or soon will surpass VS6 skills in terms of a developer's marketibility. I could not comment on that status in China. At what point in time do you think most software companies in China will have managed to acquire bootlegged illigitemate copies of VS.NET? That is the time when VS6 skillsets will need to be replaced by VS.NET skillsets. :laugh:
