Re: Mainstream Apps using DotNet

Jim,

I would than in your situation take more time to examine what is the best
route to base your next generation of programs on WinFX instead of thinking
that Win32 has an edless life.

Just my thought,

Cor

Cor,

Whilst trying to track down some answers to this question, I've seen the
question asked also, but not really found anything conclusive.

I suppose the underlying intention of the question is to see how well .net
is actually being adopted as "the" Windows Application development
enviroment, or if software houses are keeping with traditional Win32
tools.

I see lots of books and websites etc all devoted to.net, but as far as
mainstream applications go, I'm not aware of any that use .net. I'm trying
to try and work out who is using the framework for WinForms, and to
determine if the trend is for more and more .net applications, or whether
Win32 is still the more dominant Windows Application environment. - Which
is something that will help me to decide if it's worth basing my next
applications on .net or win32.

My thoughts were that if some of the bigger software houses were now using
.net, then the trend would seem to be leaning towards .net. But as yet,
I'm not sure.

Many thanks

Jim

Jim,,

This is very much asked and answered in this newsgroup, but can you give
us the main intention of this question. Often it leads to long trolling
threads.

With .net having been around for a while now, does anyone know what the
uptake of major software houses is in using .net for Windows Application
development? e.g. have the likes of Adobe, MS, Corel, etc actually
released any applications that use the framework?

Jim
