Supp Coder,
Just wanna know, now that there are new frameworks and managed codes in .NET
while we most are used to coding da classic stuff
--------------------------------------------------
Who is going to procede wit da new code style
--------------------------------------------------
and who feels like sticking to there old coding style
--------------------------------------------------
for example who wants to stick to C+ or who to move on to C#
---------------------------------------------------
and what could be da conciquences of sticking to unmanaged coding
or is it just a microsoft monopoly act (im a microsoft oriented coders, just so u know)
---------------------------------------------------
lets discuss this cools, fellow coders .....
New revolution - Classic ASP/VB6 moving onto ASPX and VB.net, what u think ???????

My guess is that it's mostly mobile phones, maybe a few ATMs, that sort of thing. I don't think MS is looking to take over the servo controller market. (Though I doubt they'd complain either!)

I don't think they force us to follow anything. They still support all major languages. But just like C++ took over C, C# may replace C++ in the future, but the coding sytle is still simular to C++.
What's wrong with promoting new technology and adapting it It is clear that Java is getting popular because noob think Java is easier because of garbage collection. I also disliked Java because I was used to deallocate memory in C++. But it has being awhile without coding C++ in University (only Java) (College uses C++), garbage collection becomes pretty nice feature for me. And once I get used to managed envirnment, I don't really want to go back. And now C# come along with both C++ features (ref parameter), Java features (managed coding), and its own features (String value on switch), C# is a much better alternative choice. Don't know if C# has pointer or not. Pointer in C++ is very powerful.
Anyway, I prefer higher level coding. Coding in low level language like assemblely language or C is both difficult and unrewarding. Of course we need people to take care of lower level side, but it is not going to be me or higher level developers.

It's possible to do both, you know. And for people who refuse to switch to C#, C++/CLI allows C++ coders to target the .NET framework without having to make the change.
As long as people need operating systems, device drivers, code for non-Microsoft embedded systems, or to maintain code written in pre-.NET times, there will always be a demand for coders who aren't limited to just the .NET platform. But I think a lot of application development will start to move over to managed code.

Oops -- you're right. For some reason I read "micro" as "compact". In that case, I have no idea!

"Just wanna know, now that there are new frameworks and managed codes in .NET"
Framework 2.0 has been extended with version 3.0 (WPF). I have heard mention and I do not know how true it is that ORcas will be 3.5
I do not think that stopping all thinking with the justification of "business demand" is anything more than a lack of examination. WPF will not meet the needs of new people UNLESS they are taught in cookbook fashion without acquiring underlying practices including engineering decision trees.
One might listen to the OP instead of quoting dogmatic party line. My impression is that the OP is asking something beyond that which requires reflection (uuuum cognitive reflection and not DOT NET reflection) and critical thinking.

uh its not monopoly. its a serious thing and has taken the world by storm. Code is much better, faster and managed. I think you need to do some research before coming to that conclusion. it has created millions of jobs within a space of 5 years, the last 3 years increasingly crying out for .NET developers (and SQL Server integration). It's a huge thing.
It's a product that meets business demands, as well as for new developers - to learn the right way, generally, but also making sure that they are on the right road, than having to say work with unmanaged code and in C/C++. the .NET developers dream language is C# and preferred, and is an industry standard language now. Sure, there is VB.NET but still has some legacy things which should hopefully be removed soon for many reasons, but makes the transition easier from old VB dev's to new .NET technologies.
you can either stay on old technology which is outdated and soon to be unsupported, or move on up to bigger and better things and be "in" with it. your call! :-)
