Microsoft Visual J++ ( VJ++ )
I have used Visual J++ for a few projects. It has turned out
to be an interesting system. I'm going to use this page to
collect interesting notes about it.
Facts:
Visual J++ made it to version 6.0, and then it was discontinued.
It was replaced with Visual J#. The J# product compiles java
and Microsoft's JAVA COM into CLR bytecode on .NET. This was
done by a group at Microsoft India.
Notes:
Here is a link to a good document on the unique
delegate model
that they added. I think it was a good idea.
When trying to put a control in a panel, you must create a new control
and place it in the panel. I couldn't figure out a way to put
an existing control in the container/panel.
11/05/2002 - When trying to set a registry item using the Registry or
RegistryKey class, the value type is implied by the type going into
the method call. For example, a string becomes a REG_SZ and a byte[]
becomes REG_BINARY. This is probably how it works on .Net as well.

icons being in alphabetical order. :-)
