i''v been doing some lite reading about the .NET frame work and from what i understand is that everything that is built with it has to be run on it? now i''m still a c/c++ beginner i say both cause i started learning c and got as far as array''s then went to c++ for some reason so my code looks alot like c but that has nothing to do with the question so i was wondering if i got VS.NET(probably the demo) and used vc++.net would i be limited to sharing my progs with people that either have the .net framework sdk or the redist? and is that the same with c# and vb.net cause i''m also thinking of learning c# just for the fun of it and can anybody direct me to any pages with good info on .net so i can get a better understanding on it? thx for any help

Sharing your progs:

C#: requires .NET framework
VB.NET: requires .NET...

C++: Nothing special required (.NET framework not required).
*Managed* C++: .NET framework required.

If you get VS.NET, you can still write unmanaged C++. Those programs will run fine on other people''s boxes even if they don''t have .NET installed.

It depends. In VS.NET, it gives you the option to create either a "managed" c++ app or an "unmanaged" one. Managed means it will be able to access the .NET Framework classes and will need the .NET framework to run. However, the unmanaged applications it generates are "regular" applications that can be run without the .NET framework at all. C# and VB.NET both MUST have the framework installed to run.

If you haven't already looked here, try this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/nhp/Default.asp?contentid=28000519

It's a lot of info, but you can find whatever you want to know about it there.
