Strange, my prev. post did not appear in this thread. Re-posting ...

Technology is designed to solve tasks. Before programming was dedicated to
mathematicians which were doing it in ASM. The problem was that it was slow
(development time). So that high level languages were invented.

The same here: .NET was invented because Microsoft wanted to create a
toolkit to allow developers quickly develop applications. Saying that .NET
is a full shit is wrong - it solves many tasks.

Surely.

Decrease in quality in lots of MS's software (rewritten to .NET) in ~Vista
timeframe is a noticeable fact.

So: good tool for ASP.NET and for simple GUI apps. Good replacement for VB
and Delphi, bad as a general development tool.

This is shortchanging both products. Let us remember, as an example, that
the entire Media Center application is a .NET application.

+1

This is true on most technologies :-)

Then why is it loading lots of .NET DLLs, and the names of some of these DLLs are showing that the core of the Event Viewer UI panes is implemented in .NET?

Hi Maxim,

well this is a good question, as far as i can see, it has two application
domains
and lots of .NET assembly references holding on my vista system. It really
looks
like a pure .NET environment but i think its more a ordinary PE image
loading
and using the .NET runtime, called "hosting" the runtime,....i think its
something
like that,...

Regards

Kerem

Well, a managed executable *IS* an ordinary PE image.

You should be able to tell by doing "dumpbin /imports". If it is importing
_CorExeMain or _CorDllMain, then it's a managed executable.

Hi Tim,

i know that and i expressed myself a little wrong. It is a
ordinary PE as you mentioned,...
