What types of business apps need the power of C++? 1

[medic]

Can anybody educate me on when to use C++ for writing apps? I presently doing application developments in VFP and some in VB. I would like to know if there be any business apps which cannot be done with VFP or VB, and would need the power of C++.

TIA

Performance considerations would be the primary reason to choose C/C++ over higher level languages. When designed with performance as a priority C/C++ code can produce more efficient software.

Keep in mind that poorly designed C/C++ code does not produce more efficient software.

Also versions of VB prior to .NET are missing some specific functionality like true object orientation and multi-threading for example.
