DotNetInvoice Forums

I believe that you have mentioned that the source code is in VB.Net, I would like to integrate your application but my site is in c#, do you have a version for c#?

Many Thanks 

 

At present we only have a version in VB.NET. There are discussions about a C# version, but adding new features takes a higher priority. I will make a note that we've had another request for a C# version.

Thanks,

As it is a dotnet app the language doesn't really matter - you just consume the assemblies regardless of the language.

If you really want to read the code in C#, just download Reflector and point it at the assembly you are interested in and choose C# as your language of choice.

Reflector will do all the work for you.  There are plugins that even take a whole assembly and build a project you can recompile.

Seriously, I would not consider releasing the same product in two languages - makes no sense at all when there are good decompilation tools available.

My site is developed in C# too and I have others to come.  Your product I recognize as a superior, but I wish to maintain a 100% C# platform for my present and future ecommerce web developments, I also make recos to other developers.  I have used both VB heavily in the past and C# currently and find myself simply "liking" C# better.  The constructs, incremeting variables, compression of multiple statements, the syntax .... It just seems to meld better with projects with SQL databases in the background (but that's my opinion).  If your product was written in C# this would be a no-brainer.

Also as Microsoft has finally gotten things "right" with Visual Studio 2008, the ASP.NET 3.5 is just great for me as developer in the coming years.  After some 10 years I finally have a VS that works right for me.

Your comments in keeping your product in one language are well taken and not taken lightly.  However my instinct is that C# will begin to begin to gather steam, particularly as new developers coming out of the schools here in the USA, India, China are among those hooked on C.

Thanks for the feedback, James, this is actually quite helpful. We are in ongoing discussions about how to handle this multi-language issue, and I appreciate your input.
