re: Just your opinion about MFC and C++.NET

Visual C++ .NET 8.0 has some great new features that will probably pull you to C++. Most notably is our new Winforms/MFC integration.

Basically, all the Winforms/MFC integration comes from a CWinformsView (which is a type of CView). This allows you to keep *all* of your existing MFC code (which will still work just the same), but then port individual dialogs to .NET Winforms one at a time! :)

Nikola Dudar posted a great MFC/Winforms integration sample at:

It will be a somewhat tough port to go from VC6.0 to 8.0, but once you've done that, and gotten it all building with /clr support, you'll be all set. It's a lot better than a complete rewrite, anyhow. Don't throw away your code!

Subject: Just your opinion about MFC and C++.NET


Hello!

Some information to be able to have a change to answer the question.
Assume I have a large system developed in MFC.
In this system we have only C++ code so no other language exist.
This system is 10 year old.

I just want your opinion about porting this system.
Assume it should be ported should it be to C++.net or C#.net.

I just want to know the advantage or dissadvantage between C++ and C# if you
have any idea.
I know the syntax is vary similar between C++, C# and Java.
