General question about C#

[Guest]

I've done mostly console programming using C++. I've done a little Visual
Basic too. I was wondering about this C#. Is creating GUI applications
difficult? For example, creating an application that inputs two integers from
the user and displays their sum. I thought I read that C# was a RAD tool.

That would be very easy in C#

I thought I read that C# was a RAD tool.

It is, it's very similar to vb6, it just has the syntax of C.

I've been programming in C# for about 2 weeks, using Microsoft Visual Studio
..NET. To make a GUI application is a piece of cake. But I don't really know
if it is so much the language as the tool that makes this easy. For example,
some years ago I used Borland C++ Builder to make Windows GUI apps, and that
was also a piece of cake. (Drag 'n drop etc).

On the other hand C# does seem to be a reasoably good language, comparable
to Java. Of course, with my limited experience in C# I have only a limited
basis for comparison...

I like to think of it as Java with the Microsoft parts with a Wysiwyg
designer. Been developing in C# for 3 years now, since I left uni and the
transition from Java is virtually seamless. It really does feel like MS have
ripped off Sun big time.
