I want to create a GUI using VS .NET. For now I just want to input some
parameters used by the algorithms I've written in C++. Maybe later I want to
access a database to load the data from and plot figures if it isn't too
hard to do.
I haven't done any GUI's before so what should I use? Do you think I should
use the MFC library, or go with building a GUI using .NET, or something
else? If I use .NET then I need to write it using a managed language, but
keep the algorithms in unmanagedc++. Will there be a performance hit? The
algorithms need to be fast. I also don't want to spend too much time on
these GUIs too. What are some good begineer books on learning Windows
programming, building GUIS, or on .NET? Thanks.
