C++ and ASP.NET

[David]

Hi,

I was wondering why is it that C#, VB and Java are supported in ASP.NET
but not C++?

Is it Microsoft's attempt to shove a portable language out of the frame
and make everyone use MS C#?

I know I can write code-behind dlls in C++ - no problem there, but it
would be nice if I could write all code in my aspx files in C++.
(unless I can of course!).

Thanks

David

C++ is supported, although it mainly produces executables, not web components.

You can use C++ to create web components, like ISAPI filters, which IIS can use.
You can also create assemblies (dlls) with managed C++ which ASP.NET can consume, too.

For an example of that, read this article :
