Still use MFC in new projects?
-
Hi, I'm planning to realize a new project with Visual C++. It should uses ADO and other COM components. Is it clever to still use MFC with lots of conversions and other disadvantages or should I use a new technology like ATL or WTL? What's your opinion? Thanks in adance Christian

I found MFC a lot easier to use and works every well for all of my projects. The latest ATL may be a little better, but we do not have the luxury of upgrading to the latest version of VC++. We are still using VC++ 5.0. ATL in VC++ 5.0 is a pain in the butt for simple things such as adding an event to your com object. A lot of people here will probably tell you different things, though.
