"This is simply not true because .net runs the same byte (machine) code as c++ executable"...Agreed ! I have developed and automated spread tool that was sucessafully used on CBOT during roll-over periods and generated quite a bit of money when used sensibly. This was all written in C++...

It is true that you can use managed C++ extensions to call C++, but that means that you have to segregate all the time critical logic into the C++ layer, and use managed C++ to wrap around it and then use C# for a user interface. But still, it cannot be compared to writing a pure C++...

For automated programming you cannot sacrifice performance for the use of simplicity (using C#). You have to use C++ if you want an automated system that is operating in real-time. C# would not be the way forward for an automated system. C++ and nothing else my friend.

Have a look into RTD that was made available from Excel 2002 as it is over 1000 times more efficient than the traditional DDE and a lot simpler to use. Thanks
