Moving to a Managed World
-
After 22 years I am leaving AS/400 (shudder), dec unix, Linux, Java, openVms, MFC, C++, VB, Access, blah blah blah) to a new job that is pure C#/SQL. After many years of being unmanaged , I am finally gonna get managed :). ( I wish I could use VS C++ 2005 compiler for managed code, so I could manage the memory myself, sigh) I have only done a few thousand lines of C# so here goes. Pray for me. ............................. There's nothing like the sound of incoming rifle and mortar rounds to cure the blues. No matter how down you are, you take an active and immediate interest in life. Fiat justitia, et ruat cælum

:laugh: Good luck then. I came from an unmanaged background as well (though admittedly not as extensive as yours), and am loving C#. :cool: Oh, by the way, if you've done Java, then you've done 'managed' code already.

> I wish I could use VS C++ 2005 compiler for managed code, so I could manage the memory myself, sigh Don't worry. With experience you will slowly begin appreciate the fact that the computer can manage memory better at runtime than you think can at compile time. Matt Gerrans
