If I haven't made substantial investment in either C++ or C#, which language
would the experts recommend I become well acquainted with?

>>>static classes - missing
I don't understand this. Are you saying that C# didn't get to use
"static" when declaring a class until 2.0? That doesn't sound right
to me. I'm also not clear on what you mean by "missing" with
respect to Java, since you can effectively create a static class in
Java just as easily in C#.
I must be misunderstandin g what you mean by "static
classes"...pl ease elaborate.
Java and C# use the term "static class" in totally different ways. In C#,
a nested class definition provides privileged access to
private members of the parent when properly addressed using a parent
reference, and to generic argument of the parent, but not an
instance of the parent. In Java, a nested class definition creates
an "inner class" which is bound to an instance of the parent, sort
of like the closure that C# uses for anonymous methods. In Java,
"static class" is used to create a nested class that isn't also an
"inner class".
I don't think anyone in the discussion was thinking about Java
"static nested class" or "static member class".
They are practically never referenced as just "static class".
The phrase "static class" appears in the source code... the use of the
keyword 'static' in that context is already taken.

Those hard to find memory overwrites you can get in C/C++ or
mysterious memory leaks is not possible in C#.
The information you have about C# sounds like the marketing drivel Microsoft
puts out, not experience. Anyway, I invite you to read http://blogs.msdn.com/tess/ and then come back and repeat "Those mysterious
memory leaks are not possible in C#" with a straight face. She's documented
a large number of memory leaks, both in Microsoft and in user code.
Also google for "C# static event memory leak". This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I am giving some thought to applying for some jobs that want people with

fluent enough that I don't have to get help with Java very often. I have no
real C++ experience and not much C experience for that matter.
However, the core Java statements are "borrowed" from C and C++ has often
been called "C with classes". It seems to me that it shouldn't take very

Hi,
I read that ASP.NET uses VB.NET instead of VBScript. I also read that
ASP.NET is a subset of VB.NET. So if I learn VB.NET first then do I have the
knowledge for programming ASP.NET applications or do I need to learn both
VB.NET and ASP.NET.
Thank you.

Hi:
From what I've read of OOP, I don't get it. I have also found some
articles profoundly critical of OOP. I tend to relate to these articles.
However, those articles were no more objective than the descriptions of
OOP I've read in making a case. Ie., what objective
data/studies/research indicates that a particular problem can be solved
more quickly by the programmer, or that the solution is more efficient
in execution time/memory...

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,...
