Certainly with 2005 and 2008 (haven't looked at 2010) VS is not written in C# or VB, or any other .NET code - the executables are not managed code. Load them into ILDASM and you will see.

Probably (and it's almost a certainty) they are native C++, if only because they are updates to existing, C++ based code. The cost to MS for starting again from scratch would be enormous, and besides: they would have to deliberately code in the bugs from the previous versions... :laugh:

Everything up to VS2008 was probably unmanaged code, but VS2010 is C#/WPF.

@JSOP: Do you have a source for this? If true it shows the direction of future language and development.

The VS 2010 main window is in WPF and thus most likely coded in C#. That said there are several native controls hosted (seemingly via COM), so there must be a good portion of C++ code too.

VS 2002/2003/2005/2008 were mixed mode, where the app was primarily native but managed controls were hosted (partly via COM, partly via C++ interop).

Earlier versions of VS were purely native.
