You can always try it to find out Smile | :)

I think I heard that VC.NET could use VC6 static libs, but VC6 can't use libs created with VC.NET. That is what is stuck in my head anyway; then again I've had some pretty messed up things stuck in my head Poke tongue | ;-P

Compile to machine code

2-May-02 4:46

Hi all,

Well this probably has been asked for over a million times, but is it even possible to compile a C# project to machine code? Suppose that for some reason someone else doesn't have the Framework, how do I compile my project so that it'll work on his platform (win32 for instance).

Cheers

C# requires the framework to run. The only VS.NET compiler that generates native code is the C++ compiler.

Anyway it`s the same old story... you can`t run a Java app without the JVM, you can`t run a VB6 app without the VB runtime, you can`t run a MFC app without the MFC libraries...you can`t run a .NET app without the .NET runtime.

No way.

NGEN.exe can generate native code, but this nativde code calls the framework. Simple as that.

I'm trying to get .NET adopted in my company, but the code that is being done is VB6-style VB.NET. Originally, I wanted to get all code done in C# to avoid this problem, but alas...

So, non-OO .NET is being churned out and I'm battling to find MS documentation that will help me "win over" all the VB6 ppl.

Does anyone else have this issue?

Cheers,
Simon

I think there are books available for smooth transition from VB 6 to VB .NET.

And I am not sure whether pure VB 6 style code would even compile on VB .NET.

And remember people don't like to change to something new, something they are not well-versed in, they get scared of change, of being shown out as ignorant.

Some years ago I had a similar issue. The only way: start coding small and very useful classes.
Some months later, people will start understanding the OO benefits.
Some years later, most of them will be happy OO programmers. A couple of them even will use STL and create C++ templates.

If you can't wait this time try finding another job.

You've got a couple of good points here, thanks for the input.

I am looking for a good example of a statusbar in VB.NET that does not involve creating from code. I have written one that is built from code but can not understand the new format. to preconfigure at design time.

I didn't, but I lucked out; I was going to see what the new posts were in another forum when I saw .NET sitting at 499 Smile | :)
