Just being new is not generally enough. There have been enough new technologies over the last few years to boggle even the most capacitive mind.

The benefits of C# for COM developers are best viewed in the broader discussion of the CLR:

The IL that .NET compilers generate (and which the CLR executes) is easier to generate and resolves to more optimizable code than Java ByteCode offers Cool | :cool: . But even more importantly for traditional Windows developers, the CLR offers several benefits, not least of which is that the code your normal compilers generate is (usually) tuned against the lowest common denominator (typically the 80386) - with the CLR, it compiles code specifically tuned against the processor of the machine on which the code is run. This will result in a performance increase which will more than compensate for the small performance penalty exacted by the protection and safety mechanisms provided by the CLR's execution engine (which do provide an immesurably more reliable environment for your apps).

At the end of the day, as a COM developer (particularly if you're a C++ dev-head), the chances are that you spend more than 60% of any project writing and maintaining plumbing code. In C# (or any other .NET supported language) most of the plumbing goes away, leaving you to write your applications rather than custom marshallers etc.

Once you've spent more than a few days coding in C#, you'll never go back.

Enjoy! Big Grin | :-D
