I was under the impression that .NET included automated versioning so that this can't happen. And the promise that all newer version will support older programs was given as well!

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.

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.

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. __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk
