MFC/VC++ to .NET ????
-
I am currently working in VC++(MFC) .I am a bit confused over Microsoft's attitude towards MFC. They are stressing now more on their .NET framework. I am planning to try my hand on .NET also but don't know where to start. What could be successor of MFC/VC++ . Whether I should start with VC++.Net or something else. I mostly work for Hardware Drivers.(Kinda embedded)
Who am I? Do you know me....:omg:
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.

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

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.

I'd have thought that the size of the framework means it is unlikely that it will be used for hardware drivers any time soon...but then I would have said that about MFC as well. You don't work for HP by any chance?
