You should work where I do - our IT is so backward that the standard Windows install (and this is probably for 10-20,000 PCs!) doesn't include any .NET framework. Thus, our PC software development (where I work, anyway) is C++ or VB 6. As I still have some self-respect left, it's C++ all the way... To be honest, with a smattering of different libraries (STL, Boost, libxml + prototype Boost.XML wrapper, WTL) I'm probably at least as productive for my target applications as I would be in C# - I don't do too many GUIs and those I do do make use of reusable WTL mixin classes I've developed over the years. And even if we did do .NET, I'd probably want to use F#[^] rather than C# or VB.NET. But then I'm fortunate enough to have freedom to choose the technologies I use.

Thanks John, You've helped me make my mind up, I think I'll take on your suggestions. Appreciate it, Jonathan Wilkes Darka[Xanya.net]

Damn it - They should have made that more obvious, oh well thanks for letting me know. regards, Jonathan Wilkes Darka[Xanya.net]

And the ATL and COM bits, I guess, unless you're going to write an object registry implementation for (OS != Windows)

There is also an application (can't remember the one we used, but whiteboard photo is another example) that takes that washed out non-centered photo of a whiteboard and turns it into a clear primary-colour image with correct aspect. Fantastic idea, and works surprisingly well.
