Microsoft extends their influence in publishing books as well eh? 1) Nope, C# is solely for the .NET platform, C++ is not. However, if everyone moves to the .NET framework, then it might replace it, unless all of the C++ people go and use Managed C++.
2) It's very different from C++ and I don't think that you can compare the power of C# the language; you would have to compare it with the .NET framework (where it gets its power). But I still see C++ as a superior language (it doesn't need the .NET framework to succeed). 3) No, again, it's for the .NET framework which is a completely different way of doing stuff. You could port it over, if Valve ports HL over, but I don't we'll see that, ever. >Furthermore, on the odd chance that everyone adopts .NET (which means all >the Linux users out there put XP on their boxes) then learning C# won't be >too tough with a strong C++ background. Unless the developers compile their applications using iNET (it's an application that converts MSIL to Java). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Cortex Sent: Sunday, May 05, 2002 6:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlcoders] Questions about C# Hello, This morning, I went to the library to buy a book about C++. The one I had before was to superficial. But, it isn't the subject of this message :D I saw much more books about C# than about C++ ! I was amazed ! I thought this Micro$oft new langage was just a try ! I have a few questions about this langage : - will it remplace the C++ ? And have I to learn the *depth* of C# rather than C++ (because C++ will be out of date soon ?) ? - is it more powerful than C++ ? I think it's a oriented object langage, but I wonder if it's really more powerful than C++ for applications which doesn't use Windows's interface (like DLL, HL SDK, etc...) - Can it be used with HL SDK ? I hope you'll understand what I mean and you have the answers to this :-) - Cortex : mapper & coder www.hlalbator.fr.st _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
