OK Ajay, now there you go trying to make MFC look older than it really is... I think the first "usable" version was with Visual C++ in 1993. :o) We don't want to remember C/C++ 7.0. Yuck.

So why we still using MFC today?
What's the main differences??


.Net is much newer technology than MFC. MFC replaced pure Win32 in
late 80's early 90's. It made life of a Win32 C programmer easy and
productive. MFC is a framework and provides doc/view (MVC)
architecture. Its all C++. .Net on other hand, provides almost all the
Win32 functionality in a consistent fashion (all classes) and supports
multiple languages. Its also managed (MFC is native or unmanaged). If
you dont have the need for doc/view and dont care about not using C++,
go with .net and C#.
