All work places (job opennings) work with vc6.0. the transformation to 2005/2008 requiere too much work and time, so thay don't upgrade. so my sallery depends on working on vc6.0. therfore I search all the time how to use c# samples ,vb samples and .NET samples using VC6.0 only. lately I have found that the window SDK platform supply most capabilities of C#/VB/.NET using Components and specialised libraries / DLL's. the code comes out much more generic and compatible. it is easy to integrate, migrate and control (sorce safe) the source. bottom line - VC6.0 is most effective for practical job in computers programming. a VC6.0 developer has x3 times more job oportunities then C# / VB / .NET programmers.
