Comments on: Does Sedna require VFP 9 SP2? http://rickschummer.com/blog2/2008/01/does-sedna-require-vfp-9-sp2/ Shedding some light on topics of software development, Visual FoxPro, saving our planet, paying it forward, and anything else I find important enough to share.

I know there seems to be a split in the .NET world with people polarizing to C# or VB, but if Microsoft wrote everything in one or the other then the "favoritism" argument would likely get stronger.<br /><br />As far as the runtimes go, this is only on the development machine. DDEX is only for developers. The components you distribute are in the latest .NET runtimes. I would not expect Microsoft to develop something that integrates with Visual Studio in the current version anyway. Hi Bernard,

I guess I don’t understand the frustration with multiple languages. I know there seems to be a split in the .NET world with people polarizing to C# or VB, but if Microsoft wrote everything in one or the other then the “favoritism” argument would likely get stronger.

As far as the runtimes go, this is only on the development machine. DDEX is only for developers. The components you distribute are in the latest .NET runtimes. I would not expect Microsoft to develop something that integrates with Visual Studio in the current version anyway.

You are not fully correct.

DDEX is written in CSharp but the other 2 in VB.NET. How nice. Now I need to learn VB.NET and C# to be able to follow the source supplied.

MS should take a leaf out of their so called “managed” platform and manage versions and languages properly.

I posted on the UT about SEDNA.

I am not impressed.

But it is worth repeating that things like dynamic effects do impact performance, and specific optimizations were put in SP2 to reduce this as much as possible.
