Why would i shift to Vb.Net

Weird, we have this kind of software (for shipbuilding), we release some COM objects to our clients, and open up some API's for them to perform data mining and extractions, or a customize application needed on their side. first they write it in C# however, found the performance is terribly slow. we write it under VB, and never experience any problem regarding registering classes/services through dispatching it in Python, C++ and VB (though not tried but some of my co-workers do). I'm still new to .NET and keeping myself to get familiarize with COM+ Interop, hoping a new solution for them, but for the meantime... happy to provide by Python, and VBA for reports. fast and easy.

so you use COM with c# through Enterprise Services right? i'm not quite familiar with that since we have already abandoned COM if we use dotnet. so after you noticed COM using c# is slow you write it again using vb? which version is it? vb6, vb7, vb8 or vb9? on our case we use a lot of .net remoting since its easier to configure than enterprise services. i also know that there are some issues with regards to c# with it slow but i figured your using the old one the 2003? is that correct? im not familiar with c# really since i have always been with vb. i only use c# when we create a mobile applications for the PDA's specifically on DTO's. but if vb is much more faster then thats great.

Great views mga bai, well to each on his own right?

VB6 is still out there, it has pros and cons and MCTS(milwaukee county trans system), when interviewing for this state gov job, their "legacy system" as what the interviewer said is a VB6 scheduling App, but is paired with .net to update the routes where the buses go.

You figured it out now :P This stable software we had, have been gone for long years now. Though I'm not part of it since the first version, but I suspect that during year 2000-2002, They haven't considering .NET Framework, it was back when people were laughing at the idea, and mostly go for JAVA. I don't know how it runs faster in VB6 and slower in my C# codes. I've been investigating for weeks, but on the end I ended up suspecting that something is fishy on top of the CLR. Same effect also when I tested under Python and IronPython (.NET). Well, we get this back when ready enough to handle .NET, at the moment badly need to discover more things on this MS technology!

haha.. early editions of dotnet were definitely problematic. considering its just on its infancy stage it was a given. as far as .net is concerned the latest one is really good as far as i have experienced. but the sad part is that i get another learning curve to study it but work constraints hampered my study. although after a few testing on the recent vb9 and c# 2.0, vb9 seems to compile faster

anyways im going OT. good discussion mark.

[MarkCuering]

Yes, .NET is quite stable now, Too bad my experience is only up to VB6.0 with few applications being handled... I agree, another learning curved for this technology. LOL I dont know when I could apply this effectively in my field. Most of the time I spend in C++/Python which kinda feel old days of building application especially these two grey hair guys seat next to me LOL...C# compile time is terribly slow which allows me to fill a another cup of coffee while waiting! though its offers a Live Debugging but effective only to stand alone applications... Anyway, hoping for new release, where microsoft speedup its engine.

likewise... ^_^ Enjoysome sleepless nights.
