MFC's future
-
I'm a recent cs graduate and studied MFC programming as an undergrad, and I'm curious to ask what is the future of MFC with the arrival of .NET? and what about COM as well? The reason i ask is whether i should invest the time in learning .NET. Your input would be greatly appreciated.

hi, there is no threat to MFC in the near future. .NET will take some time to catch up. There are some excellent articles in the 'Interview' section of codeproject that will answer this. Hari Krishnan

To be blunt, MFC has no future. It will be around for a long time, due to the amount of legacy code but I think we can forget about Microsoft updating it to support the newer API's. MFC has had its day, WTL and other modern frameworks are better tools for the job now. .NET is still in its infancy but seems to be growing up fast. It appears that the next version of Windows will deprecate the Win32 API, making .NET the first choice API.
