VC++6 MFC migration managed C++(windows form )

[Bredal Jensen]

I want to port my MFC (VC++6) application to manageg VC ++. 7. I want to do
this because some things are much better done with C#. So i could write a C#
class and use in
my VC++ code as Languague interoperabilit y is one of the main features of
the .Net
framework. I know my application would have to obey to the CTS (common type
specification) but my main concerns are the MFC stuff!
I do not really know which options you have with windows forms. Can they do
what MFC
can do? How about functions pointers. How does managed C++ deal with this?
Maybe this is not the right place to post this, but any usefull comment will
be very
appreciated.

Thanks

Before i totally go for this dot net thing. I have to say that
my application is a videosurveillan ce program and i'm thinking
if i 'll alter performance considerably as i totaaly rely on the dotnet
runtime
for code generation.

Let me know what you think.

I can not see it in the project menu .
The IDE "Itself" also prompted me to reinstall .

But before i do , could you show code snippet of how to use "#using " thing.

Assum i want to get the list of my local ip/ips . I know
this can be done with Ip helper but i guess it must be much
more straight forward using .Net.

I think i have a problem my visusal studio installation. i need to do a
reinstall.
I can not even see the add reference option .

Really? Select your project in the solution explorer and choose "Add
Reference" from the project menu.

You can also do the same from the source code with the "#using"

preprocessor

directive.

In my experience, .NET creates quite fast code, and you can still implement
performance-critical code in managed C++, so I don't think that will be a
problem.

But, as always with performance: trust noone but your own benchmark.
