    Is it worth it to program a whole Win app in VC++

    Are there any advantages to programming a whole win app in C++, instead of making some .dlls and linking them to your VB app to speed things up?
    BTW, Thanks for all your help

    If you link the dll's with the VB app you will still need the VB runtimes. (and even more dll's incuding the C++ ones you've made). Of course it is worth to make a win32 app in C++. In fact almost 80% of the win apps are made in C++.

    After a while, once you understand what everything does it doesn't look like too much code
