There's many different coding languages for many different projects, so a bit more specific would help.

If your coding in C++ you have 2 filestypes.

.cpp and a .h

 

Both of these files are text files which can be edited by notepad/MSword.

notepad can also edit .java files and .htm/html files too

!@#$%^&* am I glad I have work to buy me these things, I sure couldnt find the 5k in change to drop for this stuff ^^

And I used to be hardcore C++ pure Win32 API fanboy.... buuut.. Ive been learning C# and .NET lately, and while its only about a 10th of the speed and efficiency of c++ pure api, the dev time is also about the 10th of c++ as well ^^. So for anything where speed isnt a huge concern, C# is sure lookin like the way to go.

You can code PHP in notepad as well

by and far interpreted languages have come a long way though, kirk

 

This shows it closer to 5x btw

remember as well mono is slower than native c# on windows

 

Most of the software we use at work is now written in .net

 

I'm selling .net based software as well (wrapped in delphi however), For business desktop applications its perfect, where its mostly data entry and reports.

Exactly, infact I was about 3 months into a Service manager program written in C++ and pure Win32 API, an ODBC style frontend app. Man that thing was speedy, every window appeared instantly, no flickering, well I could go on, but it ran top speed on the slowest test machine I could find to test it on. Just recently, given new time constraints, ive had to move to C# and .NET. I have almost completely rewritten the entire 3 months worth of C++ work in C# in the last 2 weeks ^^... Buuut... When I tested it on the slow test box (P3-733, 256mb ram, XP) it ran at about a 20th the speed of the C++ app, specificly when dealing with UI elements. On faster machines the differnce in speed was much less noticable, but still thier, and on average I measured about between a 10th to a 5th the speed of the C++ app depending on the speed of the machine. Keep in mind of course that both apps use essentialy the same UI, but between the abstraction of .NET and the interpitation of the byte code, its just slower. But given the drasticly reduced dev time, and the fact that the app runs at acceptable speeds on somewhat recent hardware, its worth the trade off in this case. I never though I'd hear myself say it, but I actualy like C#

Kirk, if I'm using a ListBox with SelectionMode.None, is there a way for me to get/set/know when the DISPLAYED item changes? I can only find properties and events for the SELECTED item, which does me no good.

[★ Admiral Kirk]

I honestly dont know, I've only been coding in C# and .NET for about 3 weeks now And I havnt yet had a chance to use a ListBox yet ^^. A good place to ask might be ##csharp on freenode, thiers mostly ASP.NET coders thier but ive gotten a few .NET questions answered thier before. Otherwise, I duno ^^.
