To be fair, C++CLI is quite a pleasure to code, it's a very refreshing technology that sits nicely on the barrier of runtime and compiletime, similar to Objective C; eg still has access to unmanaged resources, while still having managed resources in contrast to Java/C# which kinda go one step towards runtime, and ISO C++ which tries to stay within compile time.
Windows Programming isn't quite that bad now with C++CLI, my image is contrived to demonstrate one of my first successful attempts at getting COM to actually do something other than give me compilation errors. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Intro-to-Microsoft-COM-for-Smalltalkers-tp4917738p4917767.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
