I&nbsp;&nbsp;am completing my tech thesis on a Visual C++ project however, I need some ideas on the pros and cons of Visual C++ to point out in my presentation. I know of some but I thought I would check here to see if anyone had any more ideas that I could include.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cory
 
I've always seen it like this, VC++ is great for the more complex powerful operations and flexibility, like linked list, Binary tree, polymorhpism, and stuff to do with the memory handling, anything you want to completely control.<br>VB does an excellent design work, tho, I usally intergrate the usage of both tools, for example, My current job is a VC++ development, but basically all I have been doing was writing VPN interner activeX controls, so that VB programmers in the same office can include them into their projects, and use the functionality of my VC++ activeX control. I've done other work, like right now I'm writing the data storage control, and display control in VB, for a mapping application(kind of new to VB when it comes to anything other than the basics). But I'll tell you if I find any articles on the comparism.<br>(one common thing I've heard tho which is usally debated to death, is that vC++ is mroe native, and faster than VB, although VB5 and up uses the VC++ compilers to compile the partually native portion of the VB code, but VB is still interpreted thru the VB runtime dlls, it just uses Native Calls now) <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in , or have messed with : VC++, Borland C++ Builder, VJ++6(starting),VB-Dos, VB1 thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, Borland C++ 3(DOS), Borland C++ 4.5, HTML, ASP(somewhat), QBasic(least i didnt start with COBOL)
 
In simple words. VB is generally used as a front end or with some scripting (like if backend is some database ) . While VC++ can be used from simple to most complex programming as mentioned by Karl. But if you use MFC then VC++ is the best option. <br>It's very fast. <br><br>Siddhartha Singh<br><A HREF="mailto:ssingh@aztecsoft.com">ssingh@aztecsoft.com</A><br>&nbsp;
