I too feel your pain. About 5 years ago, I was an accomplished C++ programmer. In my city, C++ has been hard to find lately. I have been relegated to VB and ASP. It's ok but I really love C++. I am known among my coworkers as a "C++ bigot". -------------------------- Andrew Pierce http://www.foomonkey.com monkey C, monkey foo

I recently bought a book on COM+ programming with C++ and ATL. One of my coworkers, who is very anti-C++ say, "you know all that stuff is going away with .net". Well... is he right? What is the future of COM and ATL in the .net platform? Any online resources would be very helpful. Thanks. --amp
