C++ with MFC or C# ?
Why would you want .NET?
For anything related to graphics and speed I personally would use C++ and maybe MFC. If I had a need for the .NET frameworks I would probably use MC++. Speed and C# (or VB.NET) does not go hand in hand. The speed is fine for business applications or data driven applications but graphic driven apps need a core C++ at this time.

C# is a managed language.
It means and seems that we should never wait for a c# with some better performance. Do you agree?

Startup times will get faster, but probably not a lot faster. Also, some BCL classes are slower than their C++ counterparts (but then, some BCL classes are faster than the C++ ones).

hello
my question is do .NET base class library functions
been written from scratch or do they call the underlying
Win32 API ?
Are Win32 API (classic) and .NET library two
entire different entities?

In most cases, no. The .NET BCL functions/classes usually use the Windows API underneath. However, the layer of abstraction they provide in many cases allows one to create implementations of the base classes for other OSes. For instance, the Mono project has created implementations of many BCL classes for Linux and Mac OSX.

Are you asking me why I made the quote be in small letters? I did that so that my sig wouldn't take up too much space.

I got an email from windevnet yesterday concerning the performance of C# that people may want to check out:
"Does C# Measure Up"
How does C# and its libraries perform against C, C++, D and Java?
http://www.windevnet.com/
Interestingly, it mentions the "D" language, which I had never heard of before. Go figure.

Doesn't seem to be anything to read there, just advertising that it's coming in the next issue?
I've never heard of D either, maybe it's a typo or they haven't finalized the article yet?

Did you look below the ads?  There's plenty more after the ads, and more after that below some more ads.

As they said, it's written by one person, and marketed by a small company, so it's not too well-known.

That and theres what I think 2000 languages out there. I think thats what my java instructor told me. Boy that was grueling. All I ever heard was how much worse c++ is compared to Java. That darn SUN

Isn't that the new language that Microsoft is putting out? They are supposed to have a visual version like VC, of that also, right? I do not know how popular Microsoft's VD 1.0 will be, I am sure people will want to get rid of it quickly...

D is a programming language that was designed as a successor to C/C++, but to include such things as garbage collection, design by contract, lightweight objects, RAII, compiles to native code, etc, etc. Think of a mix between C# and C++, leaning towards C++. It has some very interesting concepts.
It's designed and implemented by Walter Bright, a C/C++ compiler implementor from way back (I remember his company Zortech, later Zorland).

Conclusions: C++ has better performance in some areas, and C# has better performance in others, and there are a few places that Java outperforms C# and/or C++, but on the whole C# has better performance than Java. C++ starts up faster than C#, and C# has a number of new, modern language features.

is it possible to loop through each row of a dataset table, and populate the new column based on another column in the same row?
i have a Contacts class, and a Message Center class. Each get their information from completely different databases, and reference only by the ContactID. ( the messages table in its database only has a contactid field .. not a contact name field )
The constructor of the Contact class takes the ContactID as the argument.
I want to create a dataset of the last 50 messages and have the Contact Name in the same data set.
for example:
<br />
. . . . . . . .<br />
string sql = "SELECT ContactID,Message from Messages ORDER BY MessageID DESC LIMIT 50";<br />
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(sql,con);<br />
ds = new DataSet();<br />
da.Fill(ds,"Messages");<br />
<br />
ds.Tables["Messages"].Columns.Add("ContactName");<br />
Now how would I iterate through each row of the Messages.ContactID table, and populate the Messages.ContactName field of the same row ?
I hope I made sense =/ .. Thanks for reading this.

after messing around with the beautiful intellisense of vs, i think this might work:
for(int i=0; i ds.Tables["Issues"].Rows.Count ; i++)
{
Contacts.Contact Contact = new Contacts.Contact(ds.Tables["Messages"].Rows[i]["ContactID"]);
ds.Tables["Messages"].Rows[i]["ContactName"] = Contact.FirstName + " " + Contact.LastName;
}
|

In sql I would say
SELECT MES.ContactID, CON.COntactName, MES.Message FROM MessageDatabase..Messages AS MES
INNER JOIN ContactDatabase..Contacts AS CON ON MES.ContactID = CON.ID
ORDER BY MES.MessageID DESC LIMIT 50
that would combine them
or in code
dsTables["Messages"].Columns.Add("ContactName");
foreach( DataRow row in dsTables["Messages"] )
row["ContactName"] = Contact.FullName;

Foreach loop will be work in this case, but in some cases as adding/deleting rows or modifing primary keys or some computations (resetting expressions to null - it's .net error) will not.
Hi,

explain further on that. Dont see how foreach won't work. Its the same as using a counter just cleaner code. You can always test for null or the famous DBNull value

It's not a joke; see help (.Net Framework, foreach, syntax):
The foreach statement is used to iterate through the collection to get the desired information, but should not be used to change the contents of the collection to avoid unpredictable side effects 
I spent some nights with fighting with error at computed fields/expressions ...

hey can you post a link to that?

Yes and no actually
The foreach statement repeats a group of embedded statements for each element in an array or an object collection. The foreach statement is used to iterate through the collection to get the desired information, but should not be used to change the contents of the collection to avoid unpredictable side effects. The statement takes the following form:
This doesnt mean you cant change the data in the elements of the collections just the contents of a collection.
Like so, if you add, delete, or sort the collection while inside an enumerator it will have un expected results for the simple fact that is an Enumerator and just grabs one time data. Much like modifying a pointer while iterating.
You can change the data inside the elements without it affecting them.
I have more than 20 classes linked to datagrids and use foreach to iterate through them and have not witnessed any unpredicted results yet. And besides all doc code shows ms using that especially in implementing collections.
Could use post a code example or detailed situation so I could try it and determine the root problem.
