VC++ or .Net

hello to all, i am pursuing B.Tech, IInd year from India in Computer
Science. I have to select a course either VC++ or .NET. I had a little
knowledge about these courses. Would you ppl tell or suggest me what
should I do, please explain your selection, as it will help me to
decide. One importent thing is that I had done C/C++ in my previous
semesters.

Some of my friends are pursuing the same course in Electronics branch
facing the same problem, but they have one more choice VC++, .NET &
Wireless(someth ing related to it, don't know exactly). Please also
tell, what should they opt from these 3, and again I request, please
please please briefly explain your decision as it will help us to
choose well. They had also done C/C++ in their previous semesters.

If you intend only ever working with Windows development then opt
for ".NET". If you think you maybe working anywhere else then I'd
recommend C++. The reason for this is ".NET" is a Microsoft specific
development kit, whereas C++ is not. Then again if you're likely to
work on Unix/Linux boxes then Perl, Python, Java and scripting in
general are extremely useful.

Hi Ashu,

Both VC++ and ,Net are good. We have plentty openings in both
of them. Anyway, .Net is so good than VC++.
It is very difficult to get a job in VC++. So, according to my
knowledge VC++. So, go to .Net in very good inistitute. So, soon u will
get a job once u come out from the B.Tech. C++ knowledge helps alot
while learning .Net.
Coming to U'r Friends, Wireless technology or Embedded or
Telecom-domain or System and Signals are so good because those are
coming from Electronics back ground.

Hi .

I think if you want to get a job then choose the .Net

Because VC++ is going to wash out !

But if you want to study the Windows core technology I recommend you
read
the <Windows Programming>

VC++ is build on it .

BTW : My msn : ch******@gmail. com

I am a student too , make a fiend if you like .....

We are considering the ways to migrate our VC++ 6.0 applications to .NET platform. It would be nice to rewrite them completely in C#, but due to the time constraints this option is out of question. We started from rewriting some dll in C# in Visual Studio .NET. Now we face chalenges of interoperation between old VC++ 6.0 apps and new .NET C# components. To solve this problem we considered the following options:

I have a Visual Basic 6.0 ActiveX Control. It seems there is no way with VS 2005 to create a similar control for containers that host ActiverX controls, is this correct ? I'm thinking of converting the VB 6 project to VC in VS 2005. This seems to be a very different process. Where is a good place to start?

Overview: 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,...
