Sigh.

Forum: C++ Programming.
User: what graphics library to use?
Responders: Ask for clarification, recommend 3-D/2-D graphics libraries
User: "I was talking about Windows Forms...least runtime demands...reject C#"
My inference from these facts: User wants to use C++ with the .NET Framework, i.e., C++/CLI, because of C# "runtime demands."

I sought simply to disabuse this person of the notion that using C++ with the .NET Framework incurred a different set of "runtime demands" than that of C#, when in fact these things are -- for all intents and purposes -- the same.
