You realise this means you are doomed to failure?

It means that I can't afford to waste any time, and must find shortcuts to
achieve the required end-results.



You wish to switch to a dotnet based solution to reduce the development time,
but you don't want to put the time in to learning the language(C#). Sounds to
me like you are doomed to failure anyway.


I can only put in a little time to learn the language now. I am focusing this
time on assessing the feasibility of using C# and .NET for my future needs. It
looks like C# does have the performance that I need. In order to get this
performance, I must use relatively obscure nuances of C# that are barely
mentioned in even the most comprehensive textbooks. Specifically because of this
newsgroup thread, I was able to learn these relatively obscure nuances. It
definitely looks like C# and .NET will be the future of essentially ALL MS
Windows development.

I suggest sticking with C++, since that seems to be where your comfort zone
lies. Without putting in the time to learn C# and the dotnet framework, there
is no way that you will save any time on your development. Or, if you did save
time, it would perform like a pig, because you have no desire to work with the
framework, and you would fight it instead.

For months now, you have been posting the same old recycled arguments. Had you
listened to us then, you might actually be showing progress now.

I am amazed at how much time you have to argue, when you tell us you need to
work 90 hours a week just to tread water.
