This one covers all C++ and C++/CLI libraries, including MFC http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vcgeneral/threads/ -- Scott McPhillips [VC++ MVP]

From: Joseph M. Newcomer on 22 Feb 2010 10:54 There are more VC++ developers than VB or C#. Again, unclassified industry data. (Actually, this surprised me, because about ten years ago, the balance was quite different). But native code is not only not going away, it remains strong.

I believe VB developers easily surpassed C++ 10 years ago. I would be surprised if thats not the case with C# today. Where I work now (and for last 5+ years), we have gone from 100% C++ to less than 30% C++. GUI is completely out of C++ and has been for many years. -- Ajay |
