Hi,

>>
Id like to ask the community of .NET developers if they consider VS .NET to be a software development tool that should/could be used for game development & multimedia software projects?
<<

Could - sure. Should - debateable: I think it's gerneally accepted that .Net languages are not going to perform as well as C++ but you're more likely to produce safer code.

>>
If the answer is yes, Id like to know which is (in thier opinion) the best .NET language for thease types of apps. Cuz Im a bit worried with all the MSIL and two compiling fases going on.
<<

I've read that C# sometimes produces more optimised IL code than VB.NET but seen no objective evidence (although I haven't looked hard). Also C# allows the use of unsafe code to get a performance edge. Don't know how JScript fits in to this.

Just my 10 cents worth (I've only used .NET for ASP.NET stuff so my understanding of it's performance in processor-intensive situations is based on hearsay anyway).
