without trying it ? I have tried it, for numerous projects now, using
VB.NET, and it sucks! Plain and simple. I have a machine with 1Gb of
memory
and it sucks. That is my experience and the experience of my clients.
I wouldn't say it sucks or is useless, but winforms are slow by comparison
to Delphi.
Some third pary info... http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/381.aspx
A decent developer would make sure that they don't write slow code
irrespective of the programming language or platform.
You mean I should have coded a simple form with a single button
differently
I take issue with this statement as well. Sometimes the development
environment just won't allow you to make it faster in any reasonable way. I
left VB 3 because of performance issues that were common in that platform.
It could have been coded around, but I wasn't about to draw my own buttons
on a form just to speed it up.
Don't forget the problems of targetting different .NET frameworks in
future,
similar to Java debacles now. Imagine telling a large company (like some
of
our customers), that to accept our next product/upgrade they must upgrade
800 desktops. I know what they'd tell me to do!
My fears are reverse actually. I fear that when version 5 of the
architecture is installed it will screw up stuff that was working in version
2 and thus force at best a recompile of the app so that it can run with the
latest architecture. Also, you know MS is going to remove functions and
commands as the architecture grows causing some pain when devs have to
upgrade their apps in this fashion.
