Re: Disappointment in VC++ .Net in VS2008

Maybe I've just been too trusting however. In any case, you can quickly
discover if a class implements "IDisposable" by looking at its definition in
code (via the "GoToDefinition" command typically).

All this misses the simple fact that some developers (most likely the
target audience for C#) don't know about the using statement (or the
issue it solves).

I've been working on a mixed C# C++/CLI project for the last year and
have had to educate my colleagues to its existence despite being the
last man in on the C# code. Consequently we have loads of code that
probably ought to have using statements - but doesn't.

The issue of
"IDisposable" is nevertheless a very tiny one in the grand scheme of things.

I think it's actually quite a fundamental issue that the language has
such an unintuitive hole in it.

... C++ should have been used in the first place.

We agree on that :)

Merry Christmas
