Writing a WinForm app for 95/98/2000/XP....
To make a Windows application run on Windows 95, 98, 2000, and Xp, is it easier to use C++ or C# with .Net? I know C# so I prefer using that instead of C++, but I wanted to get some more info from the experts here.
I am writing a simple Windows utility that I intend to distribute as freeware, so that's why I am asking,
Thanks!

If you are familiar with C# it would be easier for you to do it in C#

Can I develop with C# without .net? I want to avoid packaging the .net redistributable, which is 20MB, with the application installer.

AFAIK SharpDevelop is just an IDE for C# and VB.NET. To run C# applications without the .NET runtime you need to generate native code from C# source. You can try the Salamander .NET Linker, Native Compiler and Mini-Deployment Tool

I just checked Salamander.net and concluded that it is definitely what I need.
Thanks for the help!
