Hi,
I'm working on a project at work which involves updating the programming language our program is written in from C to possibly C#.
I'm only at this job for a short period of time, I was wondering if it is possible to update parts of the program at a time to C#, yet still allow the whole program to work?
In other words, is there a way getting a program to run by writing it using two different languages?
Thanks,
Alan

The only way to do that would be to split the application apart into separate DLLs, one in C and the other in C#. There is more work needed to make sure that both assemblies can work together and that the main application can use both of them and still work correctly. It's possible, but not trivial.

You can have multiple languages in the same project.

Is what you said possible if I am mixing a managed language(C#) and an unmanaged language (C)?
If not, then if I were to compile the unmanaged language(C) in VS would it work?

If you go the Express Edition route, you have to have the multiple languages in different projects using the Express Edition for the particular language. Compile the class, then reference it in the other Express Editions...

Hi guys,
I hope you can help.
I want to start work as a trainee developer and to do this I plan to train myself up in C# and .NET.
In order to prove to employers that I have done this work, I plan to take the Microsoft exam 70-536: TS: Microsoft .NET Framework, Application Development Foundation.
However, the only self study material available at the moment is the Microsoft self paced kit. I've read mixed revues about this book unfortunately. Some people say it's good but a lot say it's not and apparently it contains many errors which could easily confuse beginners. I see that a second edition of the book is coming out in October though, so what I thought I'd do is wait until the second edition comes out and, in the mean time, begin studying C#.
Is this a good idea, heading towards this exam?
I was wondering if anyone knew of a good book to start studying C#? I was thinking of the Microsoft book 'Visual C# 2008 Step by Step' by John Sharp. I've looked at this and a couple of other books; they all come with CD's but none of them say if the CD includes any sort of version of C# to practice on. Could anyone tell me if the books would include a copy of C# to practice on or would I have to go out and purchase it?
I'm not at all sure how these things work so forgive me if I sound naive.
Thanks very much,
Dan

Dan - you can download the express editions (free) of things like Visual C# 2008 directly from Microsoft. I'm also biased against people who have little real experience, but have passed an MS exam as they don't really end up with the depth and breadth I would expect. I would rather that a developer had spent their time writing sample programs, helping out here on the forums and generally shown a bit of get-up-and-go.

You might want to move this to the ASP.NET forum.

Wrong forum, better chance at getting help is in the ASP.NET forum.

First of all, don't use TxtSpeak, use properly formed and spelled words and sentences.
Second, use a subject line that actually has some meaning about your question.
Third, pick up some good reference books on C and C++, or look at any of the "introduction to programming" type tutorials available on the internet.
If you have specific questions about something after trying to understand it, post that question (and try to limit it to one topic per post) and people will try to help.
You have actually asked to very different questions:
1. What is a C++ prototype and why is it used? Typically, this is a declaration of a function that omits the function body. It does specify the function name, return type and arguements. Function prototypes are used to declare the signature of a function ahead of time so the compiler can be informed about that function. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_prototype[^])
2. How is an array implemented? This is a much more complicated question than it sounds, as the actual implementation is potentially different for different languages and hardware. See this[^] for some more information.

Get a book and learn. Don't use textspeak, and pick the Visual C++ forum next time.

You might want to ask this in one of the programming related forums, either the C#[^] or Windows Forms[^] forum.

This forum is about Work and Training Issues, not programming problems. You may want to try the C# forum.

Have you looked on Microsoft's site? I recall they tell you the differences between the two.

Hello Raj,
Can you let me know what materials you used for your preparation and how long you have been preparing for the same. I am planning the same your experience would help.

Hi, I found that the price for testing 70-290 at Prometric is 50$. But when I ask the testing center in my country they cost me 80$. They told that the 30$ will pay for aircondition and electricity charge.
I want to know whether the testing center at the other country will over charge the client like my country too? Is it a high rate or not for this over charge?
Thank in advance

Not that I know of. Given the rate global fuel costs are going up, I am not really surprised if there is a surcharge for A/C and electricity. $30 does sound a bit on the extreme side.
