Is C# suitable for a project planning app?

Question

I am thinking of making a simple application for planning similar to Primavera of MS Project but much more simpler of course. Should I be using C# for this? I believe that Project was written in it. Primavera was in Java I think. Any thoughts?

Yes, C# is suitable for product development. however you might need more "Windows form controls" than what visual studio gives you for such a dotNet project. (I would recommend DevExpress, just do a Google search 🙂). The controls above was meant for the Gantt charts and other visual stuff if you plan to integrate those in to your application.
