You can write insecure code with any tool and any langauge. If used
correctly .NET is very safe and in many instance, much safer than unmanaged
code.

It depends on what you mean by difference. .NET isn't open source so that's
one difference. (Mono however will have an open source version)
I guess if you can tell me what aspect of open source you want to compare it
to, I can address that specifically.

HTH,

This "problem" is very over-stated IMHO. You're deluding yourself if
you think that "native compiled" apps aren't easily decompiled and
studied. Does it really matter if .net apps are "really easy" to do
it to rather than "just easy"?

just to say that i agree with u in that with a good debuuger or decomplier
tool there will be no much difference in .net or win32 programs and u said
its overstated maybe becausae of I havent studied about this much. if u can
possibly give me some site (or doc, page especially published by Microdsoft)
addresses that contains deeper discussions in that?

and by opensource i meant its easy to study the programs source not the
licensing
I thought my previus post would say the point that actually didnt
any way thank you for yur time

Referenced class lib output is checked into source safe.

The problem is that this bin directory is placed in source safe when I check in the project to source control. And...
