MFC to .NET winforms app

Hi,

I've been doing winforms apps for a while now and know a fair bit about them.
However, a friend has asked me to help port over some old MFC stuff to become
.NET winforms apps.

I've never done much with MFC. Does anyone know of any decent websites which
can help make the process less painful? I've looked at Google and there is a
mass of stuff out there and rather than hit the wrong one, I'd appreciate some
advice.

Thanks

TTFN

Paul

Hi,

If you are using windows - everything is great - just read this
In order to get your MFC applications work on UNIX use mainwin software provided by mainsoft.

What I would like to know myself, is whether MFC-.NET bundle that works on Windows will work on UNIX by means of Mono?

MFC...the horror.

It's funny you mention this Paul, since I've gotten used to WinForms too but now find myself having to go back and re-engineer an MFC app I wrote ages ago. It's awful. I don't know of any websites, but a good book is "Introduction to MFC Programming with Visual C++" by Richard M. Jones. It's pretty old since it is using VC++ 4 in the book (maybe he wrote an updated edition), but it does a good job of explaining the fundamental architecture of an MFC app (Application class, CWndFrame, Doc/View architecture, messaging, etc). It's still very true to the original design. I'm using this myself to try and get re-familiarized with this dinosaur api.
