My Adieu to LabVIEW : Your Comments

[TerraNova]

Hi.

Suppose the thing is that with LV you get not only cash for good program but also joy of process as itself wich is not so as other languages are concerned .

Regards.

^ ^ I am of the same opinion now 😄

I don't mind the other languages.

It all depends what you're working on.  I'm doing some embedded code (drivers, self-test, etc), so using LabVIEW is not in the picture.  I enjoy doing this.  

When doing an application, if I have a choice, I'll probably do it in LabVIEW.  

For automation, the choice is obvious..  😉

They're all fun.  And the money is also welcomed...  😄

And it will only benefit to know what other languages do and have. We can always pester ni in idea exchange forum to have that..........

^ ^Yup....:D

And just when I started using OOP in LabVIEW, I came to know about the memory manager.cpp error while converting a vi designed with LVOOP from LV2009 to LV8.5 . Created a post for this, but didn't get any reply for that. This might get out of thread topic, but still if anyone knows how to get this conversion of vi from LV9 to LV8.5 working, please post it here.

hi,

've been using Fortran and Visual Basic (and a bit of Pascal and a bit of Quick Basic in the very old times..

just after finished with assembler in Z80 🙂 ) 

I have to say that LV blow me away, it is beautiful ! (I have just a bit of problem with the increasingly large number of version, toolkits, options, and so on...)

but clearly I don't think I will change soon for something else !

Well, sticking to the topic, I would like to have a kind of poll on the following question:

Is LabVIEW and C# combination good in automation field?

1) Yes (+1)

2) No (-1)

Please give your opinions 🙂

[muks]

I will say no. I feel labVIEW will do...  (and I am doing it)

I am a bit confused here. Talking of automation you would like to have a matched set of hardware + software. And in that area LV shines as it can seamlessley talk to all of NI hardware as relevant.

C# on the other hand is a more general purpose platform and when you use it with ANY hardware for automation, you are going to depend on low level device drivers, which of course are not as easy as using LV with NI hardware. And nowadays most hardware manufacturers have thier own GUI software for applying thier hardware and C# skill set may not be so useful in the automation area ?? Frankly I have not used C# and  this is my gut feeling. Open to any corrections
