Message #1 by =?iso-8859-1?Q?Bernhard_D=F6bler_is_Programmer@B... on Thu, 27 Jul 2000 11:05:42 +0200
Hello,



which language in your opinioin is best to develop ASP components in? 

Visual Basic or Visual C++?

Is there a good book covering both languages?



Greetings

Bernhard Doebler

VB is a fast and easy language to learn and it's very fast to write 

components. C++ is more difficult to learn.



It's up to you what language you want to use.

But have in mind that there is a small difference in perfomance between C++ 

and VB components. If you want to do something that has to run fast, use 

C++.



Have in mind, if you are going to get data from a database don't use ADO 

because it's aparetment threaded and is much faster in VB than in C++.



I recommand you to read "Beginning Components for ASP" ISBN: 1861002882

jeahhh... so I thonk it's good to be able to develop components in both

languages.

mmhhhh, and how to access databases from C++ best? Native?

Ok, the WROX book. What do you know about

"Instant ASP Components with CDROM" by McGraw-Hill (I didn't find a website)

"Developing ASP Components" by O'Reilly

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/devaspcom/



Thanks so far.



Regards

Bard

Why? Essentially VB6 is for people who don't know how to code in C++. If 

you knew how to code in C++ anyway, why would you ever use VB6?



As far as I can see, this whole question will be thrown wide open by the 

arrival of VB7, which supports proper multithreading, has namespaces, is 

capable of proper OOP, etc. Of course, high-end use of VB7 in this way to 

make use of its full potential will not be an easy, accessible or 

quickly-learnt skill. Not in the same way as pasting a few command buttons 

onto a form and writing some _click event code is, anyway.



There's also the C# wildcard looming in the future, muddying the picture, 

somewhat. C# is being marketed as a tailor-made language for COM.
