I dont think ms will remove suport for unmanaged c++ compiling, i dunno about MFC, i saw their last move trying to mix ATL and MFC in a desperate attempt to save MFC, even if it meant breaking a bit of ATL.

hopefully we'll be able to use QT and boost libraries or something alike and c++ will always be

I think sticking to C/C++ will be worth it, because you can successfully target other platforms like Linux and MacOs.
But most of all: I love programming C++

We have a few applications that haven't been given the okay to upgrade, port over, or just abandon all together. I actually spend quite a bit of time tweaking these applications to meet new demands from our users.
Personnally I would be happy to just be done with it all together;), even though I'm thankful for all the experience that I've gotten from working with the applications.

That's our case too. Wishing for those apps to die, but it just seems like they never will...

We (ok, at my _previous_ work, i dont technically have one now) had a VB.Net application that was no longer being developed, just maintained. All new things done in C#.

We are using VBA to plug our client-side C++ code into MS Word, but I guess it is not "real" VB.

Its the only VB I deal with, we have a couple little Access Forms applications, which are of course in VBA.

VB has left the building where I work about two years ago. Personally I didn't dislike VB.NET, it's just that C# has some more tricks and is more common here

The royal We, in this case. WE touched some VB6 stuff ages ago, and was sufficiently touched by it that WE will never program in it again unless WE are starving.

VB6 was a good choice for many. I programmed DOS with C, but for Windows it was far easier to use VB6 than C (I'm not a masochist, you see...). Now, with .NET Framework, C# is my only choice.

I had a bad experience with VB few years ago. After years of programming in C++ I tried to write a VB code with few lines. It took me two hours to understand why my code was not running. I added semicolons at the end of the lines!!! and VB didn't generate a meaningful error message about this. My conclusion is that VB is not for me. I use C#.
A good article about VB vs C# is Not Another C# Versus VB Article[^] by Nigel Shaw.
I heard once in a user group forum that Microsoft aims the .net languages as follows:
VB.NET - For quick and dirty applications
Managed C++ - For programmers who wants to fully control their code
C# - In between the aboves.

VB'ers prefer the term "rapid prototyping" to "quick and dirty". It makes them sound more grown-up and important than they really are
Ami Bar wrote: Managed C++ - For programmers who wants to fully control their code
That's a contradiction - if code is "managed", the programmer doesn't have full control his code. Whoever said that is an idiot.

Managed C++ means "full control relative to .NET," i.e., MC++ or C++/CLI is the "systems" language for .NET, analogous to C++ being the systems language for unmanaged code.

C# is the best,dont think about the rest
|
|
|
|

i won't start a "what language is best" war, but saying so is simply reducing the interrest of other languages. each language has its advantages, depending on the situation (yeah, even VB6 and VB.NET, even if I don't use them).
for my part, C++ fits me best

I wonder who needs VB.Net since C# is easier to learn and use then VB.Net.

1. Those who are already proficient in VB6
2. Those who must work with infrastructures already written in VB
3. Those who decide to move to VB.NET in order to make it easier to find developers. There are more developers proficient in VB.NET than C#

i thought C# and VB.Net are pretty much the same - just a different syntax.
i use VB.Net because i prefer the syntax, although i am also fluent in C#.

AFAIK, it is true - speaking as a former moderator of a .NET forum.

I agree I think the number of c# developers outweighs the VB.net users considerably.
.net is a box of never ending treasures, every day I get find another gem.
