        If I convert an app from vc6.0(mfc) to vs2005, could it run under vista?

          Chances are very low as VC MFC is an unmanaged code. It is better you go throught the documentations which would let you know how and where you need to change to make the application compatible with VS 8.0 (2005). If I'm not mistaken I have even heard of some third party tools which help you out with this kind of portability issues. please google it out as I'm novice in that field

              What compiler you use to compile your app has nothing at all to do with whether it will run under Vista. It completely depends on how you wrote your app.

                  Hmm.. programming isnt an easy ride.. Are you completely new to programming? Also, if you're targeting a specific language, maybe the VC++ or C# forums (for example) would be more useful... --PerspX
