internet explorer - Advantages & Disadvantages of writing IE addons in .NET -


since .net developer, planning write ie addon in .net. here have experience with/in developing ie extensions in .net can share knowledge?

specifically know advantages & disadvantages of using .net task in comparison atl com.

i'd rather advantages & disadvantages not bound ie addons more programming languages , platforms.

.net:

  • it easier , more safe c++
  • easy create , program ui
  • requires end user machines have specific .net framework installed (you can run addon on compatible frameworks)
  • uses more memory
  • requires declare winapi functions , constants if need them

c++ (atl com approach):

  • uses less memory
  • can statically linked not require .net frameworks, visual c++ runtimes, etc (in other words run everywhere)
  • easy call winapi
  • requires more knowledge , more tough .net
  • awful ui editor (at least built-in atl/mfc)

so if .net guy pay attention compatibility different .net framework versions. other stuff minor.
