Can VC++ 6 co-exist with .NET (e.g. C#, VC++ 2003 or higher)
-
I maintain a very mature product (over ten years old) that was written in VC++ 6 (MFC). My team is in the process of giving the app a new look and feel. We decided to try to convert the project to .net to leverage the GUI elements; but had too many issues during this process and forfeit the idea. This leads to my questions: 1.Could an application that is compiled under VC++ 6 use Win Forms, or VC++ 2003(or higher)Dialogs? 2.This is more of a secondary question to number 1). Could controls be written in C# or VC++ 2003(or higher)then the assembly or .dll be used by an application compiled in VC++ (MFC) 6? 3.If you answer yes to either question; is there any documentation? Thank you:), -e P.S. My goals is to slowly move the application to the new platform. I am trying to make the application co-exist between VC ++ 6 (old code) and VC++ (maybe .net) 2003 or greater (new code). Since I don't have the option to compile the application greater than VC++ 6.
