Hello,everyone!

I have been working on a project using vb.net and ComponentOne.net.The
c1 component is really cool and fast.How did they build those
component?

I am just wondering if win32 api could do a .net component,which may
run very fast.

Thanks!

Hi,

If I understand your query correctly, I would reply YES, but it sounds you
took the problem the wrong way.
Writing .Net components from a standard 32 bit compiler is maybe not
impossible (much people are syaing nothing is impossible) but I'll not
recommend to do that.

Doing it the other way, calling unmanaged 32 bit code through DLL import for
exemple is possible and much easier...
 
It can be a standard .NET component and run very fast. Although
sometimes using direct WINAPI calls may speed up the
application/components, if it is misused you may have the a performance
degradation.

But I wouldn't be suprised if they have a pure managed component that
is fast. .NET is pretty fast as far as you respect certain things.
