General C# Question - GUI's

[jbak]

Hi,
I would like to know what are some of the benefits of using C# vs C++ (MFC) specifically regarding creating GUI's. I've heard that it offers the ease of creating gui's that visual basic has offered developers for years, but I would like to know what specifically is more "easier" in C#? I've developed using MFC for many years, and at a first glance at C# GUI toolbox it looked pretty similar to what i've been used to and didn't find anything that is much different.

Any help and pointers from the experts out here would be greatly appericated.

Thanks

If you've been using MFC for many years, then C# will probably just annoy you, but it keeps you from doing all of the "unsafe" things like pointers that you love, but that cause mere mortals to go crazy when they have to debug them.

I would say that C# is cleaner.
More formally

• Automatic memory management

• More syntactic constructs for classes, delegates e.t.c. You can define attributes and annotate types.
