I recommend C++/CLI
Start using it ( Even I just started :) )

There will be no significant speed difference between applications created using C++/CLI or C#. As for power, it means different things to different people. To me power means the ability to do the things I want to do. In the context of a managed application that ability is about the same. One additional thing you get with C++ is the ability to create unmanaged applications, but the occasion for an unmanaged application comes very rarely, so, it is a little used feature. Furthermore, power comes from the programmer not from the language or the IDE

, so you should just choose the language you feel most comfortable with.

i recommend c++ for client/server software applications. you get access to design features both compile-time and run-time. women say to me (passionately) c++ is sexy language.

btw C++/CLI is working with .NET? and if it does it means that C++/CLI apps can't run without NET Framework?

if it uses .NET Framework than its not faster than C# or is it?

is C++/CLI mono compatibile (if it uses NET Framework)

If you have little knowledge of C, then you would probably find C# somewhat easier to learn than C++ (e.g., no pointers). However, a possible consideration is that once you know C++ you can write apps for UNIX/Linux as well as for Windows, and this really isn't true for C#, at least yet. (You would have to learn a different windows/graphics system for UNIX/Linux, of course, but the application core language would be the same.) Also, if you are working with native code under Windows rather than within the .NET environment, C++ would certainly be the way to go, and if you are worried about speed as you say, then in fact you well might choose to "go native". Good luck!
