visual studio .net general: Hi,

(see http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?DogFood if you're confused by the subject line)

Anyone know if visual studio is written in .net (i.e. as managed code) or is
it a good old fashioned C++/win32 program?

Andy

MS eats its own. VS is built entirely from managed code.

Not quite. VS is about 50% is managed to my guess. For example, all
compilers, text editor, project system and common IDE are native C++. In
Visual Web Developer we have approximately 20-30% managed code. There is a
lot of native code that works just fine. New components are typically
managed, but existing ones usually stay native unless a major redesign is
due.

I don´t think so. The .NET framework maybe, but the IDE no. VS.NET inherited
a lot from the VC6 IDE and it's COM based for the most part.
