MFC to manged VC++ ...

[Bredal Jensen]

Hello,

I have an MFC application. I want to port to a managed C++ application.
Is there support for this in VS.Net .?
Many Thanks

In theory you can just turn on managed extension in the project.
However you normally have a bit of manual work to do.
We had to work through several microsoft articles before suceeding.

Just out of interest, what are you hoping to achieve under MC++? Are you
writing all new stuff from now on in c#?

Here are my links. If you produce your own dlls, my advice is not to bother
trying to convert them to MC++ as there is a lot more work to do.

1) Manually edit project files setting BasicRuntimeChecks="0"

2) Declare Empty Definitions for tree controls:
struct _IMAGELIST { };
struct _TREEITEM { };

3) Debugging

1. Download latest Windows XP SP2 symbols for system dlls from
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtoo...symbolpkg.mspx
2. Put these in a folder
3. Link to these in the solution properties under Common Properties, Debug
Symbol Files.

Error: exceptions in mscorwks.dll, whenever a breakpoint is reached.

Link: search for “.net 1.1 service pack 1 debug symbols� at
http://communities2.microsoft.com/co...s/default.aspx

ps- expect debugging to be much slower in MC++, release builds seems OK
speed though.
