Well, just a few comments here. First, I wrote the program in C# (.NET) mainly because it was tons simpler to code. Porting to C++ would require a different way of doing things, and have added more complexity than I'm currently willing to deal with. Second, I have been using .NET for some time now, and don't find that it causes any problems for other existing programs. I've used it on a number of production systems running manufacturing facilities, and find it actually to be more reliable than something we would have written in VB or C++ in the past. Beyond the large size of the installation, I don't find that it impacts the system beyond that. So, it's up to you. Installing VB or C++ both require some form of runtime DLL's to also be installed, so its really no different other than the need for a lot more in the .NET world. At least in .NET, it tends to keeps its stuff somewhat "private", away from the rest of your system files, which is much better than ActiveX/DLL hell from the past. I'll leave the choice up to you as to what you'd like. If you feel up to it, you *could* take my existing code and port it to C++, but currently I don't have the time to do a complete re-write myself. Hope this helps. Any other questions let me know.
