[Winpcap-users] Which language will be better?

[Gianluca Varenni]

Well, one solution does not exclude the other. You can also develop the UI part in C# and the capture/decoding part in C++ (using P/Invoke for the interaction between the UI in C# and the capture engine), or in Managed C++ (so that you basically write code in C/C++ and the compiler takes care of doing the necessary marshalling between the managed and unmanaged datatypes).

Just my two cents

  Hi,

      I would for sure go with Visual C++ because it is much easier to work with when it comes to structures and memory handling which is something you need in such a case. In C# you will get a speed up with the interface but there is an extra overhead with interfacing with the library and wrapping stuff.

      Regards.
