MFC/VC++ to .NET ????

[ednrgc]

Unfortunately, I don't think .NET is a solution for device drivers at all. Too much overhead. The entire framework has to be loaded to load the driver. I think the best choice is to stay with a native compiled language, like VC++ or BC++, or even Delphi :wtf:.

I'd say WTL, it's lightweight I wouldn't bother with MFC, it's on 'limp-along' release cycle until they finally deprecate it.

I did hear (some while back) that this would be possible in future (which I don't know) versions of .net.

No matter what future versions hold, the fact remains that you have to load an entire framework before the driver loads. This is insane for drivers.

mate, you have run out of options, working VC++ on .net framework is too much hard work. So you may have to start with C#, but after a couple of days writing code in C#, you will see how stupid that language is. i would stick to VC++.net, but you will find that your project manager is not too eager on performance but ease of programming, that is C# I had gone through this exact situation as yours, but luckly I found a company that works on ansi C/C++ so I have given entirely the microsoft platform.

Oh vote me down I'm only tell the truth, keep sticking with MFC and you'll be fine for a job in the future - not.

A case of shooting the messenger because they don't like the message?

My advice: If you want to write managed code, learn C#, not VC++.Net. VC++.Net is seriously ugly and nobody uses it. With .NET it's pretty easy straight forward to wrap your unmanaged device level code with COM Interop and use it from C#.

I thought voting was a measure of agreement with the post. Apparently there are some who disagree with it.

Then MFC, C++ and .Net are totally useless.
