Where to start?
-
I have an NT Service program written with VC++ 6.0 as ATL/COM components that runs on W2K or XP. Now I want to upgrade to VC++ 2005 but not sure where to start. It has nothing at all to do with the web, just processes database requests from clients on wireless scanning devices. The wireless device needs some data from a database, calls my service which processes the request, formats the data for the device then returns the formatted data all through various COM calls. I guess my question is: is there any advantage to migrating to VC++ 2005 other than getting a new compiler? Are there any books you would recomment that might help me migrate the program to managed c++? Thanks for any inputs.

You can still compile it as native code, VC8 doesn't force you to convert it all to managed.
