Visual C++(MFC) or Visual C++/CLI

[My articles]Why not? But, I must warn you that it might take longer than expected. :)

Hi ALL, Which one is easier to develop a GUI.Is it VC++(MFC) or is it VC++/CLI(i.e.VC++.NET).Please advice. Thanks, ashwath.

I think you should use C# or VC++/CLI, Because MFC is dieing. Fewer and fewer people are using MFC.

Which puts me into the fewer and fewer category, I guess. Maya just doesn't play along well with .NET and most of our applications are written in C++, so there's no point in writing only the UI with .NET. Some may think I'm "stuck" with native language programming, but I'm doing it because I'm liking it. :)

[My articles]Well, could always draw in paint the code you want to write, then use OCR to convert it to text and paste it to your compiler, but I'm not so sure that it is the most efficient solution :-D

Who, besides Nish, is using C++/CLI for an actual shipping program? (C++/CLI is one of the biggest pains in the ass I've ever used.)

[My articles]I'm for one glad that COBOL is not the standard requirement for new job positions. Awful language when having tried Java or .NET.

I would not use
Managed C++to build aGUI. I would use insteadC#. That said,MFCis quite powerful (nothing is really easy when talking aboutWindowsprogramming). :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

[My articles]Agree that one should not use Managed C++ for building GUI. Managed C++ is mainly for compiling legacy C++ code, where performance is not an issue. Or wrapping native C++ code as standard .NET classes. I would choose Winforms/C# over MFC/C++.

There a lot of old applications that still are implemented in MFC. These will not disappear soon, but yes any new GUI applications are usually implemented either as a web-application or using Winforms/WPF.

If MFC is dying, why do new versions keep being released for each new version of VS [^]?
