a general question about C++.net

[www.brook]

I have a lot of Visual c++ code, I am wondering how difficult it is to
use them in c++.net,

I guess it is a lot of work to do the conversion.

It all depends of the quality of your code : With each version, the C++
compiler becomes closer to the norm (the biggest step was from VS2002 to
VS2003 IMHO), which means that some code that was considered right is now
flagged as error.
Most of the time, when it occurs, it means that your code was buggy and
wrongly accepted by the old compiler. Switching to the new version might
actually be an opportunity to clean up the code.

Anyway, I've not yet seen any project where the conversion was an
overwhelming task.

What version of Visual C++ was the code for? When you say c++.net, do
you mean C++/CLI?
