    Just curious, how many out there are using unmanaged C++ to develop web apps?  onwards and upwards...

    I'll stick with PHP on that one ;) C++/MFC for Windows applications PHP for web applications It's frustrating being a genius and living the life of a moron!!!

          I recently developed a web server in C++ (using STL), with the front end in AJAX/XHTML/CSS. Works a treat, and was an interesting project.

            To me it would be more of "like why?". There are too many good technologies available to lock your self down to something so low level and time consuming. I could write every application in C/C++, but I do not want to wait years for deployment and then have to deal with all the bugs that surface. The new technologies are proven to increase productivity, reliability, saftey and deployability. The more you can deploy they more you can build..

              Probably because most people are ignorant of wayt to actually do it, like you and many other posters. Try IntraWeb wiht Borland C++Builder or Delphi (or Kylix, for that). http://www.atozed.com Nate. Nathaniel L. Walker "I lack emotions. Don't test me..."

                Can you describe more details of your app? I am in the middle of reviewing the architecture of one of our critical systems. The challenge I have is that the app is serviced from some number-crunching FORTRAN code. Here is the life of a web request as it exists now: 1) Client makes request from Flash web client 2) Command transmitted over HTTP to ASPX page 3) ASPX page queries the computational engine somewhere in the app cluster over TCP/IP 4) (Application is written in C#) 5) App makes calls to methods in a compiled FORTRAN dll 6) results are written to a file (I know we need to fix this... If anyone knows how to return large amounts of text from FORTRAN to it's C# wrapper, lets talk!) 7) C# app reads file as results 8) C# app sends back to ASPX page over TCP/IP 9) response is formatted and sent as XML to Flash web client

                Using our C++ app server, we would simply receive the HTTP request, call the fortran code directly and format the response right into the HTTP response. That is the flexibility of using an engine that actually lets you write native code that can call native libraries/dlls without the hassle of middleware wrappers and products.  onwards and upwards...

                  The problem I'm having is transferring large amounts of text back to the calling C# function. FORTRAN seems to prefer fixed-length mechanisms. Sometimes the response will be 10 characters... sometimes it will be 10,000 characters. :~
