Adding window form to VC 6.0 MFC App

[zubair_ahmed]

I have a dialog based application in VC 6.0 MFC. I want to port in to VC++ 2005 with few additions. Additons are: 1- I need to add a window form to this MFC App, which will be the main form from where all other forms will be loaded on button click. 2- Add ADO.Net support to MFC Project. How can this be done?. Thanks in Advance.

OK, so you need to change the main form. I'd say it's probably easier to do this in VC6 :-)

OK, so you need to add C++/CLI support to your app. Then you can use .NET classes where-ever you like. The other issue is, VC6 is a bad C++ compiler, unless you've written very good code, expect to make changes before it compiles.

Should this be taken as solution :) ?
