Mainly because so many things which I know about C++ don't seem to apply in the .Net environment. I'm doing Managed Devlopment in C++ because I wasn't allowed to choose the development environment. I would have chosen Java, which is much more straightforward. But since you're now getting snide, I guess you've helped me enough--thanks for your time.

I agree, it makes no sense. Well, I am looking for C++ examples. Thanks

Well, since I used the .net designer to create all of the views, it doesn't seem to lend itself to mvc. Are there any examples of how to use mvc with studio/net generated forms? Thanks for the reply

Using the designer to create the main form for an application generated the following code in the .cpp file: int APIENTRY _tWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPTSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) { System::Threading::Thread::CurrentThread->ApartmentState = System::Threading::ApartmentState::STA; Application::Run(new DataForm(lpCmdLine)); return 0; } The DataForm class has a button which generates a new form: linkedForm = new LinkedForm() ; The LinkedForm class exists in the same namespace as the DataForm class. What needs to be done to allow this child form to see public methods in it's parent, since a DataForm ptr cannot be declared globally? Are there any examples of parent/child form communications of this nature? Thanks, MrHonus

Is it CI/C++? It was created using Visual Studio and .NET, so I guess the answer is yes.
