perhaps what you say it's true but i gotta say that once you've tested c# you do your best for continue using it, if your client allows you, of course
cool signature by the way
c# rocks

It depends to the programmer, I think. Many people are as you mentioned, while many others are not.
You see the pole results, after 6 years of .net introduction, there are still more than 40% of programmers not using that at all, and the 56% that use it are probably using other languages as well(otherwise number of voters wouldn't exceed 100%.) I could never believe that 30% still use c++.
Me for example, started and learned a bit of the new technology, specially database (e.g. Dataset, data table, table adapters, Data source, ado.net, n Tier architecture, etc.) and guess what, I don't like it! I returned back to c++ and implemented what I found good in c#. I mostly don't like GUI tools that generate huge code for us, in return I like small codes do a lot and wizards that generate codes that I can read and manipulate easily.

I must say that my first exprience with C# was for the desktop and for web services. Nowadays it is mostly for the Web... nevertheless, I would rather be doing most of my development on C++ even if designed for .NET
Nothing can replace the power and pleasure of developing with C++
Once more, desktop software should stick to native code, especialy interface development... .NET is a great tool, but it should be used only for what it is best!

Most of my C# work is 50% desktop and 50% web at the moment. The web-side is growing a little as I move into writing SOA web-services to power my desktop apps.

So it's mostly either writing web services or desktop applications.
I was talking about asp.net web sites. I was reasoning that a large number of those who selected c# are mostly coding asp.net. It's just a theoretical idea, however.
It seems that a large number of projects moved to web side, in US specially, because internet is widely available and also is cheap(I think.) Where I live things are different. Internet is available in some houses(often Dialup) or in some offices(often broad band up to 256K but mostly 128.) Here people don't like to move their application to web because of it's prices and poor quality. But they use it for blogging or introducing products,... The concept of web services, or web based applications or service oriented architecture will not come here soon, however I like technology and learned a bit of them.

If you're new, check this out. There's a lot of articles here, you only need to find the right KEYWORDS and SEARCH. Begin with a short article to understand the basics, then move on further...
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/internet/SerialCommunication.asp[^]
I checked the article, the basics are there. Anyhow, when you implement RS232 communication, you'll have to read a lot of - manual/transfer protocol specification, etc.
BTW: really the wrong forum for questions
C#, ASPX, SQL, novice to NHibernate

Which languages are you actual paid to work in?

I put English and it didn't show up in the poll.
Hmmmmmmmm... It felt like I was getting ripped off. Guess it's obsolete.

It should also say actually instead of actual.

what exactly do people do with it?
any cross platform ('nux/doze) C# developers out there?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes i do cross develop my applications although, i do question why i should write them in C# and not just C++.
In any case, mono is fine to use as a cross development compiler and i have been using it for a while,
even though it has some pretty large bugs but with a bit of knowledge anyone can work around them .

====i do question why i should write them in C# and not just C++. =====
thats what i wondered, lol.
i use QT, SDL and somesuch...
if yr going to use an interpreter, why not use a good one, like LISP or Python?

Interpreter? Why are you mentioning C# and interpreters in the same sentence?

I've been writing a backend server application to automate the test labs at my company, they decided to use C# for that since its capable of multithreading. The other team members use VB.NET which is the web interface.

Multithreading has nothing to do with C#... (?) The operating system provides multithreading, and all languages I know of offer some kind of interfacing towards multithreading.

VB huh? Poor bastards... I once worked in a project where we chose VB for the GUI because someone said its "easy to work with". We all in the project ended up regretting that choice every day... VB is good to get something quick 'n dirty to show off (as long as you're content with the boring native GUI controls), but to use it in a serious project is something for masochists only.
Today I use C++ with Juce. It allows me to develop x-platform (windows/mac/linux) and to do pretty much exactly what I want. With ease. But don't take my word for it, do check it out.

I'm pretty much a full time C# dev, delving into JavaScript for web-sites and SQL for databases. However I do have to work with guys who only program in VB, so I still need to be able to understand it, read it and write it.

I realize the poll only covers languages for which you get paid to code in (are there other kinds?  but I am surprised that Ruby scored so low - I thought we would all be using Ruby by now?

ohhh man, C# is free to code, all .NET IS FREE TO CODE, only VS is paid, but to can use VS xpress for free to code
