Would you use C# or C++ for a new project?

[oransen]

If you have a new project to do which does not require a presumable speed/memory advantage of C++ over C#, would you use C# or C++?

I don't think the project requires any advanced processing which C++ could give, so I'm tempted by C#, even though I have a lot of support functions written for my Inventor in C++ book.

Hmmmm.

Of the two listed I'd go with C#. Assuming this is for an Inventor related project, finding examples and documentation in C# is more likely.

Though personally I use VB since most of the official API examples are in VB. That and a large portion of the code posted on the forums is either VBA macro code, iLogic code (based on VB), or straight VB code.

Apart from what I wrote myself:

Inventor Programming in C++ 

But I agree with you
