programming language question

Hello MR_Breeze

andnbsp;Just a small question. I was told in a store that vb.net and c#.net are just andnbsp;updated versions of earlier versions of the respective languages with a bunch of added routines to write applications for the net. As a matter of fact WP Home edition will not run .Net applications as it cannot be a server. I saw a book written by Microsoft that said that you can write apps. for .net but you cannot run them on a machine with XP Home ed. But i am not interested in the net and not planning to write anything for the net. Could you open vb.net, load a sorce code writen in vb6 or vb5 , recompile the program and run it with Windows XP Home ed. If you do not use any .NET specific commands you would be using only the core code of VB and i don’t see why it would not work. andnbsp;The same could apply to C#.net. Any though?.

andnbsp; andnbsp; andnbsp; andnbsp; andnbsp; andnbsp;Thank you and have a nice day andnbsp;

In a response to a post somewhere else about a suitable programming language, the answer was, any language will do.I would like to be more specific.I do not have a program.language on my PC bit want to get one. It seems that the choices would be as follows,VB6, VB.net and maybe C#.net.I understand that the .net versions are the latest in both VB and C. I lean towards the C#. Would andnbsp;3DC understand scripts or plugins written with C# or VB.net.

To be honest, I don’t know. I have VB .NET, but I haven’t tried it out to build plug-ins. VB6 Professional or Enterprise is probably the best choice right now, but you wouldn’t want to put money into something that is obsolete.

Perhaps someone else knows?

Thank you Richard.
andnbsp; andnbsp;This being a low priority right now, I will simply wait and see. Trying to get a grip on the camfer tool is more important at this stage.
andnbsp; andnbsp; Have a fine day.

It all depends on how good you are at programming. If your fairly new, i would stractch c# since c++ can be a fairly diffucult language in places. With VB6 or .net, you’ll see results quicker than c++. You should research some of the differences in code and see which one suites you better.

cheers,

Thank you for the input Simon, it runs on line with comments I had from a few programmers , running from casual to expert and all had the same suggestion.
The last comment was, why use a loader when all you need a good shovel.

andnbsp; Thanks again.
