Migrating from MS VC++ to C#/.NET
-
Hi, I have been programing in VC++ under MFC for a while now. I program for research applications and the problem that I continually run into is that I find myself spending way too much time on things that should just "work" like serialization, propertypages, controls and the Doc-view architecture instead of algorithms. I think a lot of these functions have problems and poor documentation because they have to be continually modified to support new versions of MFC. Is the .net framework superior to MFC in this regard? I haven't purchased a book on the .NET framework yet so I know absolutely nothing about it. Thanks

They have different purposes but you can get things done a lot quicker in .NET, plus it has a very rich library.
