Converting a dotnet application to VC6

My first question here involves understanding what files are used
where in regards to a dotnet application.

For instance, I see a bunch of .config files. One I opened up looks
like it represents a set of menu items. In fact, it's an XML file with
quite a few <MenuItem name="name" value="value" /tags.

Is this file comparable to an older resource (.rc) that contains menu
items?

For instance, the following line appears in the .config file...

<MenuItem name="-" value=""/>

Is that comparable to the following item in an .rc file?

MENUITEM SEPARATOR

And does anyone here know if there's a reference anywhere to
convert such files from dotnet to older technologies?

Thanks for any help.

Perhaps you could start by telling us which version of Visual Studio (2002,
2003 or 2005) was used, and which C++ project template was used, Windows
Forms (CLI), MFC, etc.? That would give us some idea of the magnitude of the
problem you face.
Once you have the details in hand, you might also consider posting your
question in the appropriate C++ group(s). Some possibilities:

microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vc
microsoft.publi c.vc.mfc
microsoft.publi c.vc.language

Hi, On MSDN I know there is a JScript example (Upgrading Visual C++ Projects to Visual Studio .NET in Batch Mode) to upgrade VS6 C++ projects to .NET solutions. It converts the project files (*.dsp), but doesn't create the solution (*.sln) file. Is there an automated way to convert an existing VS6 C++ *.dsw to a .NET *.sln?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
