Re: MFC vs .NET

I tend to agree. That's why I was questioning the issues of "efficiency".

I recently encountered someone who works with a lot of massive server-based database
retrieval. He was amused to report that the corporate attitude was that computing time is
completely irrelevant. Getting the data INTO the computer is the ONLY parameter of
interest. These are the kind of people who are looking at AMD-based servers with tens of
gigabytes of memory as their low-end servers, and can't get enough RAM into their boxes.
So they don't see languages like Java or C# as having any relevance to their performance,
and preferred the advantages of managed code environments over nominal computing
efficiency gains of native code.

(He and I did a lot of database work 20 years ago, which is why we like the idea of 8TB
address spaces...)

and with just one call have the task done because many calls to unmanaged

This would not be an issue if you are all managed. Why do you even want
to keep unmanaged c++ in this case?
