Simple Performance Metrics

Postby perry » Wed Oct 14, 2015 3:42 pm

Hi Mike,

Is there a particular reason why Jiwa changed native code to C#?

*edit
Thanks btw, code is very useful.
It will be cooler if we can apply filter somehow.

When writing plugins, you can elect to use VB.NET or C# - we've been using C# for new plugins ourselves because we want to be able to identify issues with using C# (we've found a few already - which are able to be worked around - like how C# is less forgiving with namespace overlaps and the intellisense in the editor gives up in C#, but not VB, and the property getter and setters in C# for the gridtext method of the JiwaGrid is hidden and needs to be accessed via a proxy function).

We introduced C# as an option, as many people prefer C# for some reason - to me it's a trivial difference - once you know the important bits of the .NET framework, the language is not that relevant - but C# is more attractive to some people.

You can filter by right clicking on the column header, and selecting "show filter".
