Web Programming in C++?
-
Hi all. I am a programmer using MFC and i am supposed to make a program that is displaying details on a web page. I have not the simplest ideas where i am supposed to start. I am using visual studio 2005. Some one told me about using C# but i am not so enthusiatic about using C#. Is there a way i can still use MFC for Web Programming? Are there any good resources in the internet to do the same. Please help. :(

No, that's just not possible. MFC is a framework for windows apps. You need to use a framework that generals HTML. You will find that HTML is a lot more limited compared to MFC, in terms of the freedom you have to create and interact with controls. But, you have no choice. C#/ASP.NET is your best bet.

As Christian says, .NET is your best choice for the UI in the web. Using MFC you could create some ISAPI extensions, to interact with the data in a bussines layer.

It is perfectly possible to write web applications with MFC ISAPI extensions. Whether it is the optimal approach in his case it is a different question.

MFC Internet Programming[^] Most likely, you'll be interested in ISAPI extensions, since ATL Server is being deprecated.

I also doubt it's a good name for a function! :laugh:
