From VC6 to .NET 2 questions

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

I have a fairly big C++ application that compiles with VC6, I now have .NET
and I want to convert my project.
But before I do that I have 3 questions. First, what is the equivalent NG to
microsoft.public.vc.mfc? and secondly will the new .exe require some new
files that were previously not needed, (like the framework or new Dlls)?
And generally speaking will the compiler root out my previously unknown
problems?

Many thanks

Simon
