When you study C++.NET, it is like a hybrid between C++ and C#. If you
look at the support for both languages (C++.NET and C#.NET) you will
find that C++.NET is very much less supported by MSDN, making it quite
difficult to work with at times.

It is a pity that this ng is so doggedly fixated on C and C++ and doesn't
also
include C# in it's scope. There are some very intersting comparisons to make
between C++ and C# which would deepen the understanding of both C++
and C#.

It seems to me that this ng is sociologically a tgihtly knit group, with all
the
consequences of that, like many rules and outgroup-depreciation, thereby
myopically losing sight of both the splendours and shortcomings of C++.
