    Since the .NET compiler understands all c and java etc. as well as vb code and converty them all into a single standard binary. I'm curious, is a c program compiled in .NET larger or less efficient than using a traditional compiler?

    anyone have experience in coding with .NET? how does it compare to more traditional programming. I've reciently started using .NET I find it runs a bit slow tbh and it's a bit of a pain to get to grips with the object orientated side of things compared to VB6

    .NET is most similar in concept to Java in that a "compiled" .NET program is compiled to an intermediate language that is run by the .NET framework rather than compiled into raw machine code. It is therefore slightly slower than a raw C++ program but it is significantly faster to write a program in .NET than Win32 and a lot safer in terms of memory management etc.

    Stiick with it - it is a very powerful programming system and what you learn in .NET will also be useful in other object oriented languages.
