seriously?
many people (myself included) consider C# a cheap M$- java knockoff.
Not that I would badmouth such a thing, but it seems a bit redundant...
Getting a native c version looks much more effective.
Disclaimer: Personally, I only dabble in c occasionally, but seeing the raw power and compactness of jl777's SuperNET c codebase made me say that!

The world has changed. http://www.mono-project.com/
into what exactly?
vanilla C is and will be unbeatable in terms of portability and extensibility compard to C#.
sure, adding additional layers (and therefore complexity) to run on nix for instance is
doable but this is not what i am talking about. a lean dependency free 33.3 kb C lib
which compiles from source on all major OS without bloat, ready to use is what i mean.
however, don't want to start a language war here but if your requirements are those
like portability, usability, extensibility etc. to unlock many other devs and projects
you have to go good-old-plain-ansi-C.
I'm hoping to convert it to C# because I want to convert it to C#. This is part hobby and part useful tool for the business Windows developer world. I understand that portability is important and I agree that writing a C API or client is of immense importance. However, a lot of business logic is written in .Net and a capable dev can right something that's very extensible and fast.
Anyway, that's my intent. I'm not looking to go into troll-mode (coz that's not my style:D) but that's not to say that a .Net option isn't without it's benefits.
