Hmmm...I could not really care whether MFC lasts or not as I am just learning MFC (as a generic step to VC++, it is, of course part of the VC++ book I am using) but Oxymoronic? I think words are being put in my mouth I never said "MFC is Dead but 'it is in the beta 1 of .net.'" - I just stated the fact it was there (and I was using it). Lee ------ Lee J.

Well it is in beta 1 of .net. That does not mean it will always be there. I am using it now to learn VC++ (the book is for 6.0 but why not use the newer version). Lee ------ Lee J. Zuckett - MCSD Avanade, Inc.

I only saw the beta 1 but it looks very similiar to .net beta 1 - seems it is the "new" look. Lee ------ Lee J. Zuckett - MCSD Avanade, Inc.
