Hello.
This post is not about the C# language itself, but its usage in the
real world. I know a lot of commercial Windows desktop applications.
But actually I don't think any of them is written in C#. Some
applications do use C# but I think it's only a small part, and most of
the codes are written in C++. Is there any commercial application
written entirely (or mainly) in C#? Not .NET GUI components nor any
other libraries for .NET. Not freeware, not enterprise application,
server application, or custom software. I mean general commercial
Windows desktop applications like Microsoft Word, WinRAR and so on .
In fact, I've searched this news group for this subject and found a
post with the same subject, but it was more than two years old. I'd
like to know about current situation. I think Microsoft has been
making efforts to make C# one of the major programming languages for
Windows development.
PS : If there are commercial C# applications, do they all use
obfustication?

There are certainly some, although I wouldn't expect many products
with a long history to show up in the list.
From Microsoft:
Windows Live Writer
From a previous employer:
AudaEnterprise (see www.audatex.com and look at the UK) and other
products

Some use obfuscation, but not all.

Well, the entire ide for Visual Studio is written in C# according to
Microsoft. A quick google search also said that Powerquest DriveImage
is a dotnet written program. I think the question is somewhat moot,
since the advantage of c++ is that it's so embedded into established
companies' development process and it's also more friendly towards
porting to mac versions et al. C++ also lends itself better to a nuts
and bolts approach to designing something from bare paper to your
exact wants, while "visual" languages are more about rad.
C# is probably dominant in internal corporate software, which, for all
I know, comprises the majority of software written. I'm sure some
folks will offer differing opinions, but there's a start.
Don't know about the obfuscation thing. Try to use ildasm on
devenv.exe!

We write a commercial application for finantial institutions and it's
written in C#, A friend of mine that works in a fast food logistics
company use C# too, they are developing a POS system to be deployed in
all the franchises of the chain.
As you can see there are, but you will not see one of the familiar
oldies application being rewritten in C# Too costly IMHO

FYI, MAC use Objective C as it's preferred language. and I do not see
a lot of apps being ported.
I think it has to do with a cost proposition. It's not very cost
effective to simply ditch years of C++ code simply to use C#

I doubt you'll get very far - it's not a .NET executable...
It probably either hosts the .NET framework or has a (probably modified)
version of the framework 'built in'.

Yes, but that's sort of freeware. I mean ones that are actually sold
to common end-users. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hello All,
I am trying to convince my client to use Python in his new product. He
is worried about the license issues. Can somebody there to point me any
good commercial applications developed using python ?. The licence
clearly says Python can be used for commercial applications. Is there
any other implications like that of GPL to make the source open ?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I was wondering if there were any commercial applications out there that
use .Net. Like games, accounting programs, and etc. I havn't seen any
myself. I know a lot of web sites are built on .Net (like mine) but I
havn't seen the framework installed with any programs yet. Thanks! Ken.

Hello
Just like everyone else, I am excited about how easily one can create Windows applications with the .NET platform, but for shareware, I have some serious reservations
1. Your code can be easily decompiled. This would make it very difficult to implement any sort of license restrictions on your app, because anything you write can be easily viewed and cracked. This also removes any privacy for your intellectual property

My friend told me that his company will migrate the VC++ win32
applications
to C++ .NET windows applications. I don't understand why since
currently
Microsoft only supports .NET on windows platforms. If Win32
applications
and .NET application both will run on windows only, what's the
advantages
for the migration? Or maybe this type of migration is not common in
practice?

Hello folks,
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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
