VC .net vs C++ code

[Allen Maki]

I would be pleased if someone gives me a general idea; how I am going to do
this. I am using visual C++ .NET 2003.

I made a simple program using conventional C++ code. This program accepts
data from the user, does some calculations and outputs the result back to
the user using the console.

Now, I want to use the .NET Framework to interact with the user through
Forms, Dialog Boxes and Controls.

I managed to create all the forms that I need to interact with the user and
they work very well together. But, now I want to use the first program that
I made from conventional C++ with .NET Framework. In other words I want the
user to input data (through Forms and controls) and then I want to
manipulate the data mathematically (using the conventional C++ code) and out
put the result (through other Forms and controls).

So my question is how can I use the conventional C++ code with the managed
code and which file(s) am I going to use? For example, I have the following
files:-

References:

Source Files:

AssemblyInfo.cpp

Form1.cpp

Form2.cpp

Form3.cpp

Stdafx.cpp

Header Files:

Form1.h

Form2.h

Form3.h

Resource.h

Stdafx.h

Resource Files:

Hi Allen!

So my question is how can I use the conventional C++ code with the managed
code

The easiest way is to just add your "normal" c++ files to your
windows-forms project and call the function which will do the calculation.

Don't. The free express edition of VC++ 2005 is to be preferred over the
full version of 2003, and VC++ 2005 Pro is a quantum leap over 2003, any
edition.
