Difference between MFC and VC++

Hi

I recently joined a software firm as a trainee, where i have been asked to learn MFC. The book which I am referring is Visual C++.net programming bible. I don't understand the difference between VC++ and MFC. In the introduction of the book the author says that it is a MFC book and not a .net book. So, can anybody tell me the difference.. plz.

Thanks and Regards

VC++ or MSVC or Developer Studio or DevStudio (all names for the same thing) is Microsofts basic IDE for development using C++ (or C) consiting of and editor and compiler/linker and C runtime libraries.

MFC is an additional library that encapsulates the WIN32 API (the Windows programming interface) in a set of class libraries Microsoft Foundation Class library. This is getting a bit long in the tooth now and is being replaced with

.NET a more extensive library of functions used to access Windows functionality and services using the CLR (Common Language Runtime). .NET applications can be written in many languages C++, C#, VB, J# to name a few. ASP.NET is related but not quite the same. C++ is sometimes refered to managed code or managed C++ when using .NET
