.NET information request

[Kasracer]

I want an article form a trustable source like microsoft comparing each different .NET language in terms of speed.

Also, any information reguarding .NET's memory management would be appreciated. I know VB and C# use garbage collection (*shudder*) but C++ will use RAII. Since the .NET framework was done in C++, does all of their components use RAII as well? Does a managed C++ program use RAII or garbage collection built into .NET?

I don't have an article for you, but they all use the same CLR when running managed code.

So a C++ program using managed and unmanaged code will use garbage collection instead of RAII?

Well that is pretty stupid on microsoft's part....

Only in managed code, not unmanaged.

Unmanaged code is just like the plain C++ type stuff as normal.

I am not an expert when it comes to C++ though. I just know if the CLR is managing the code (hence the word managed), it handles garbage collection.
