Do you think that 1) WINAPI (c/c++) 2) .NET forms 3) c# (whatever they use, doubt its WINAPI) 4) VB / VB.NET is the "best" for programming windows, and why.... Also, i read in another forum that they thought WINAPI was on its way out because of development time...what do you all think?? -Dan Yes I realize im a n00b...
When General Patton died after World War 2 he went to the gates of Heaven to talk to St. Peter. The first thing he asked is if there were any Marines in heaven. St. Peter told him no, Marines are too rowdy for heaven. He then asked why Patton wanted to know. Patton told him he was sick of the Marines overshadowing the Army because they did more with less and were all hard-core sons of bitches. St. Peter reassured him there were no Marines so Patton went into Heaven. As he was checking out his new home he rounded a corner and saw someone in Marine Dress Blues. He ran back to St. Peter and yelled "You lied to me! There are Marines in heaven!" St. Peter said "Who him? That's just God. He wishes he were a Marine."

Define "best". They are all good. C# uses .NET Forms which is just an abstraction of Win32. VB uses Win32. They are all essentially the same. This questions is pointless.
Theyre all completely different, some are quicker, some are more efficient, and also i said to state why, your reasons for choosing the "best" one are your own...

.NET C# and VB all use the WinAPI, it''s just been abstracted more.
You still can have a preference...

I prefer to use my own system, which again utilizes the WinAPI. Although maybe I''ll write that OpenGL GUI one day and be done with it
