How to bind a application written in VC++ with a system (during installation or at the time of first time applicaiton execution)?
I want to bind my aaplication for particular period. After that period application can't be used with activation.
How to do it in VC++?

what to you mean by "bind" ??
installing ?

Binding to a system is difficult and not very user friendly but if you have to then there are two well known methods. Either the MAC Address of the primary network card if your app requires network connectivity and most PCs have one anyway. Or failing that the Serial Number of the primary hard drive. Microsoft use the latter for binding installations of Office and the like so if you move your system to a new disk it stops working until you plug the original CD back in.
All of these systems are vulnerable to hacks, probaby won't hold together on virtual machines and tend to be very, very annoying to the user if they ever go wrong. I hope what you're writing is valuable enough to make it worth the effort.
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

that means, if i have given test version of my application to user for 1 month period; then after 1 month user can't use my application without activating it with proper serial kay.
Is there any way to do it in VC++ OR at the time of making Installation (of my VC++ exe)? I am using Inno Setup to make the installation.

That changes things entirely, as "with activation" and "without activating" are completely different.

Sure. Most folks will write some obscure key to the registry. Another less-popular way is writing to some out-of-the way file.

all depends what kind of application you have to make...
there's no universally better language upon others. if you need very good performances, C/Assembler is probably the best couple. but if you have to create a big system with web servcices and all you can imagine in a nowadays Enterprise application, you'd better go for C#/J2EE...
as i said, all depends

I think toxcct' answer was perfect for you but it dependes to your work for example c++ is very good for write COMs but you must know c++ is difficult than VB.

It is the one and only true programming language.
No serious, it is worth wile to learn (Visual) C++. why shouldn't it be?

Yes, of course. Any chance you have to learn something is time well spent.
