Hey all,
I'm a hobbyist programmer who usually codes in C++ or Java. I don't
claim to be experts at either, and I'm not familiar with different types
of variables, inheritance systems, etc. I've decided to play around with
C# and .NET 2.0 a little bit, but I'm still not completely certain about
the differences between C++ and C#. All I know is that there are some
limitations that aren't on C++ (which is probably a good thing... I
think the saying goes "C will let you shoot yourself in the foot; C++
makes it harder, but when you do you blow your whole leg off.").
Does anyone know where I can find a list of the differences with
examples as opposed to just vocabulary that a self-taught programmer
like myself wouldn't know?
Thanks in advance. I'm still not sure of what I think about visually
designing the interface (as in most C++ apps and Java apps you code the
interface), but C# and .NET both look very powerful. I only hope I'll be
able to tap some of that power.

Hi MF,
I have a couple of recommnded resources for you. First, the Microsoft .Net
SDK, which contains the entire reference for the .Net platform, including
all of the languages that Microsoft supports for it (VB.Net, C++, C#, and
J#): http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframewo...s/default.aspx
Second, if that's a bit more than you want to chew on, here's a link to the
specification for C#: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...pspecstart.asp

Since you didn't appear to get an answer giving "difference s with
examples" this may be of some use - a table of differences between the
various C languages, Java and D - from the D web site (digitalmars.co m). http://www.digitalmars.com/d/comparison.html
IMHO I see C# as being like Delphi - ie it's a good language that excels
in RAD with a GUI - whereas I find C/C++, while great for helper
routines and console programs, somewhat painful for RAD/GUI. Then, of
course, there are ways around these apparent limitations (eg wxWidgets,
SDL etc etc). I would think C# would be ideal for a "hobbyiist programmer".

I have a field, Y, in table A that I need to update from table B,
matching on comman field X in both tables.
Table A has 10K+ records with field X in it (Field X multipul times).
Table B has only disctinct records in it based field X. Table B also has
a colume Y that I need to copy to table A's column Y.
So basically I want all of column Y's data in Table B copied to table
A's column Y.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
