Easy 100 points for the right opinion on creating cool interfaces...
i program in C++ (MFC) and have been delving into creating web sites (including reading alot of deisgn books) so now im unhappy with the interfaces ive been using from Visual Studio 6. I have Visual .NET but did not see any real differences when creating new programs so went back to 6 because of having to figure out what a freakin "solution" was (just kidding but it seems like the only thing that was done to C++ .NET was change the terminology). I just need a good opinion from someone a little more experienced than me.
Is Visual C++ .NET going to be beneficial to me?
Should I take the time to learn C# .NET?
If so what will C# do for me?
What can I do to create cool looking interfaces like Office XP prdocucts (Outlook)?
thx

Oops, I forgot - it does have more built-in controls to make it easier to implement your interface, but a good design comes only from you.

thanks that's a great link to another great link
Down side:
1) It takes a while to learn. Just learning the replacements for simple, every-day things like strlen() and sprintf() is irksome.
2) Your generated EXEs require the .NET run-time environment. If you want to make general distributions, you'll have to check for the run-time environment and either install it or tell the user where to get it.
