Sorry for the delayed response.
Yes, all of my tools are written with Borland Builder C++
Pro, mostly version 5.0 but I am slowly converting to version
6.0
While I don't do it much, I find the RAD dev environment
for unmanaged C++ completely missing in VS... mostly because it is. For some
stupid reason MSFT only gives RAD GUI dev if you want to do NET and I am not
even close to doing that. The funny thing is is that Borland has been doing it
for over 10 years. They took what MSFT did with VB and applied it to Object
Pascal (Delphi) and C++ (Borland Builder C++). Ditto for making services.... It
doesn't make sense for me to use VS for non-GUI and BBC++PRO 6.0 for the
GUI. Might as well use one that does both and doesn't require NET. If I
want to do NET though BBC++PRO 6.0 supports that as well. I would love to
use VS as it would save me considerable money but I don't see them getting off
the NET bandwagon until they just start getting wailed on for some reason or
another. Not that I hate .NET mind you, I just don't like it for me and I have
received too many emails from people telling me they would not like my tools as
much and possibly stop using them if they were written in .NET. People like
the idea that they can pick up one of my exes and just run it on pretty much any
Windows machine without worrying if the proper framework components are in
place.
As for the book recommendations....
I recommend two... The one in my signature below and the
Active Directory CookBook.

Subject: [ActiveDir] AD, LDAP, and _vbscript_
Dear
group,
Can anyone
recommend books or references regarding querying AD via LDAP using _vbscript_? I
am a native C++ and JAVA programmer and am very interested in learning how one
goes about doing that.
Joe, your
set of tools from joeware-very handy set of tools thank you-were they written in
C, C++? If so, do you use Borland or Studio.net to write and compile
them?
Thank
you,
-Shariff
