doing hardware oriented programming in C#

[Farooq Khan]

hi all,
my comany has been developing windows based softwares for controlling
certain PCI hardware (that involves using TAPI & WMI mostly). we were
thinking of moving to the .net technology, preferrably C#. since i'm new to
..net technology, i dont know if i should go for C# (or C++.net) or stay on
on the same old C++.
any recommendation/suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanx,
Farooq Khan

Well, if you're using C++ then most everything is already available, whereas
if you use C# you'll have to (I assume) to wrap TAPI. WMI is already present
in the framework. And of course, C++ will be slower to develop than C#, but
it will probably be faster.

Controlling PC hardware in general means programming at the driver level, if this is what you are doing, I'm affraid you will have
to stick with C++.
