.NET

[relez]

Hi. Just one question: can i have access, using Cobra, to all features of .Net? Or What has yet to be implemented?

Hi relez,

Is there a particular feature you are interested in?

Right now, I don't believe you have access to Silverlight features (although perhaps it hasn't been tried). Also, I know of some edge cases with delegates and generics that run into issues. C# can do pointers / unsafe -- but Cobra can't. Is that what you are thinking?

Highest on my mind is that Cobra does not yet read the extension methods declared in other languages like C#. I have started on this in a local workspace, but have not finished it.

Like torial, I'm interested to know if there was something in particular you were thinking of, or having trouble with.

Tonight, I just cranked out a WPF utility for a project I was working on and had zero problems. But there is always room for improvement.

I'm not interested in this moment to a particular feature. But I hope to start a project in C# and I'd like to develop something in parallel using Cobra just to show an interesting alternative tool. The important thing is that there is full access to the framework and its various layers, it can be Ado.Net rather than the features associated with WPF and so on. I'm missing a lot of time and i'm a bit' "rusty" about Cobra... this may be a new beginning

Sounds good. Let us know what you find.
