C# Vs C++ for Memory Editing

[Steveiwonder]

As the title says, which is better for Memory Editing?

Or is it more of a preference thing? From what i can see on the Memory Editing forum most of it is C#?

I'm learning C++ but wondering if i should just use C#? or BOTH?!

C++ is better, of course. Native code just can't be beat. That said, there are some nice API's out there for the C# guys. If you skick with C++ for now, you'll be better off in the end. You'll have more power at your disposal.
C# has the advantage of being easier to work with. Quite often, people know both and do the dirty work in C++, and the rest in C#. That might be why it seems more talk of C#. That's my twocents

I may not be worthed of reading but in my opnion IF YOU can have the time learn both.

C# is great for fast coding and can do lots of stuff while C++ is more robust and can be used in various case scenarios like said above...

if you dont have the time nor will to learn both but wants to learn 1 of it i would recommend you to first list what are the main things you will need or use and then check in which language you will be more confortable in acomplishing it...

Well personally, at this moment in time i'm more intrested in Memory Reading Wow to create a BOT or some kind. Just as a starting point and there on inwards who knows what i can maybe create.

For some kind of GUI which would be better?

I have ALOT of time on my hands like i work for 4 days then have 8 days off to do what i want and get paid alot of $$$$$ so time is off the essence.

I dont mind learning both languages, but to start with? Maybe C# are it sounds a little simpler?

Keep in mind that programming is, well, hard. Get started with some tutorials in *any* language to see if programming is something you'll enjoy putting thousands of hours in to.

oh i know i love programming, already heavily involved in web dev.

but thanks for ideas/info's all

I guess if you know C++ well it'll be easier for you to edit the memory. But I'm sure it works with C# too.

I would suggest you stick with C++

[noobnator]

well there is 2 libraries you can use to read and edit memory that i am aware of that makes life easier BlackMagic and MemoryLib and you can learn from it and create your own so i dont think that read/write/edit or w/e u prefer to call in C# will be any harder then what it can possible be in C++ in fact i think in C++ it is lil harder but i guess that is because i think C# is easier lol... well dont take me serious ... just my point of view.

The good part of C++ is that you can create it from scratch ...

[Steveiwonder]

Appreciate all the comments, i think i'll stick with C++ as thats where i started and then try some C# next time

If you choose to learn C#:

That's a good one.
