Whats the different between a Win32 compiler and a .NET compiler
do the controls look different or does the compiler just compile the
code differently.

different APIs. The difference in the *compilers* is that they do produce
different output code to run under each platform, depending on what you are
actually compiling for.

Win32 is purely a procedural programming paradigm.
.NET, like the VCL, is a RAD, visual designer/object manipulator,
component-based OOP programming paradigm.
wxWindows is an OOP programming paradigm, but there is no RAD, little visual
design, no visual object manipulator, and no components, although of course
there is a class framework.

Sorry Ed, thanks for the reply I sent my last post to your email address
instead of the newsgroup sever (:

Edward,
Is this for CBX?

Borland has given their usual promises, and we wait to see if and when they
will be fulfilled. CBX, in the future, is supposed to support managed C++
.NET, cross-platform wxWindows, and BCB RAD + VCL. What it will actually
support I don't think anyone knows for sure outside of Borland. The way this
whole situation with CBX has been handled is a fiasco. Why Borland is still
so asleep concerning C++ is beyond even Nostradamus' guess. But since
supposedly they are being profitable, I don't think they really care.
I don't take much of anything corporations say seriously anymore. I have now
been out of work for two years and three months, and I can honestly say that
I have been lied to by nearly every company, corporation, agency, and
business with which I have had any contact during that time. I am sure there
are some honest business people out there, but it has been next to
impossible finding any.

What do you program in now? Are you developing your own projects?

Builder components which I am also implementing on .NET in managed C++. I
may not release them for C++ Builder now that Borland has squashed its
future but I will focus on a .NET release. The components can also be
JavaBeans so I am working on that also.
Almost all my personal projects are re-usable components. I have some free
ones at www.tropicsoft.com/Components/RegularExpression , but all
other future components will be products at low prices. That is if I can
survive as a programmer, which looks more and more doubtful. If I could find
another profession which would enable me to find a decent job, I would, and
only program at nights and on weekends. But even the latter has been
impossible.

I am a mining engineer and am getting too old and sick of moving around
and living in the outback, there is limited employment oppurtunities in my
home city so I've taken up mine software development, but have a digitiser
and plotter so am able to offer basic digitising and plotting services in
addition
to the supply of software. My plan is to sell a single software package
designed
from the ground up to compete with with larger packages on the market
supplied
by major software houses.
 

Does wxWindows support .NET?

Ed......get real....C#Builder 1.0 was, and is, still a BETA in a Released

were so many bugs that within 2 weeks of it's release, update 1 was
released.

Oh, so I should believe that it is no good because a patch was released for
it?
