I didn't say that there would be something. :-)

If C++ is your preferred language, you may want to continue using it to
target the .Net platform. If you are not familiar with either language AND
you wish to target .Net you might was well go with C#. Just my opinion,
YMMV.

Disclaimer: I've never used C#.

I can think of at least 2 reasons why a developer might prefer C++ over C#:

1. The developer already has experience with C++. Other developers have told
me that C++ and C# are just different enough from each other to drive an
experienced C++ developer batty over the syntax differences. Especially now
that we have C++/CLI instead of those @#$%! Managed Extensions for C++,
continuing with C++ is the path many C++ developers, including myself, have
chosen.

2. The developer needs to be able to interact well between managed and
unmanaged code. C++ can do various interop things that C# can't, starting
with the ability to mix managed and unmanaged code in a single executable.

If you don't fall under either of these categories, I've been led to believe
that C# is somewhat easier to learn than C++ if you don't know either
language.
