You think we are going to be able to write vb.net or C# applets in the future just like Java applets (ofcourse i dont know how to write Java Applets ;) ) ?

Where have you been? We have been able to do that for a while now. You can embed Windows forms controls into an IE web browser just like it was done in VB6 wih ActiveX controls. A little easier though. This is no different than Java Applets.
Well maybe i am behind time, but from all i gathered, hosting windows form controls in IE (should be IE6 to work?!) is not similar to a Java applets, well thats only my idea!
No they are the same thing really. You still have to download the applet/control, and the client needs the runtime/vm, and it shows up in the browser. Its just the Java applet drew its own controls instead of using built in controls of the operating system(Hence why applets are slow as shat!)
Quite frankly I heavily argue against these things. Since you have to download the app/controls anyway, might as well make it a stand alone exe. Trying to meld desktop and web apps is a supreme wast of time. :o The benefits you 'think' you get from them are in fact not worth it.
:o
To make a long story short applets/activex/windows control embedding sucks donkey.
:D
If one thinks in this way then all the applications written in any language are eventually the same, aren't they?Quote:

I 99.99....% agree with you in this matter.Quote:

What i am talking about is the future of .NET, I mean you be able to write and use its so called applets as easy and with same multi platform support as Java applets. Am I clear enough?
That all depends on other developers that are working on cross platform .NET. MS is just not likely to put real effort into non-Windows versions of .NET.
Yes they are. The only difference in a language is how close it is to machine language(ie its level) which determines speed and power, and its syntax. To everything else program A will act the same no matter what language it was written is(assuming both versions were written to do the same thing of course although one may be faster.)Quote:
