Why C# Builder build program faster and smaller than vs.net?

EastDragon

I just used Borland C# Builder and use it to develop a same program that I used to in vs.net 2003. I found C# Builder compiler is much faster than vs.net. And the program size it build is smaller. Why?

Are you working for Borland ?:wtf: There is no "C# Builder compiler"...C# Builder is using csc.exe just like VS.NET, so what are you saying there is impossible.

Are you sure! I don't think so. Just take a look of my recent message,it shows different. Let's roll!

What is C# Builder like generally? How do its features compare with VS .NET? Kevin

Yes, Borland licensed the standard Microsoft C# compiler for C#Builder. The timing effects you're seeing must be due to other reasons (not that I have any suggestions for you on why you're seeing a difference).

Thanks for all your condemn. And I do not work for Borland. I just want to know the truth. And thank you for your words, I really learn some new English words! Like "ad hominem". I wonder if you could give me more! Thanks again! Let's roll!

"Ad hominem" is a common logical fallacy. It means saying an argument is false because the person is so and so or because he works for so and so. For example, suppose Fred writes a paper explaining why global warming is not a severe problem. You then find out that he works for Exxon. So you dismiss his argument. That would be an ad hominem argument. To refute Fred's paper you actually have to examine his reasoning. Kevin
