I need a good .NET Visual C++ book.

I've been programming in C++ for years now, so I'm not looking for a book to teach me how to program in C++.

I need a book to help get me up to speed with programming with MFC and in .NET.

Any suggestions?

I had VB 6.0 last semester and failed it, and it was an easy class too so I don't know what happened. But I'll say that VB neevrtheless no matter how easy it looks is super annoying none of the commands work right.

Why do none of the commands work right? I code in VB6 for small projects all the time, and they appear to work just fine for me. [Smile]

I think this is a situation where the phrase, "It's a poor craftsman who blames his tools" applies.

porter,
Haven't read it myself, but I hear the kickstart books actually aim towards people moving from knowing the language to the new version.

Of course, from what I understand, C++ .NET is becoming the fat friend of the .Net framework. It's all either VB .NET or C# . NET. Is there any reason why you'd be wedded to C++? If not, I'd suggest taking C# out for a spin. It's similar but, in my opinion, better and it seems to be where Microsoft is focusing their efforts.

---

Oh, and I also have used VB to code projects and it worked fine.

This is not for a personal project -- it's for a work project.

I will not be the only person working on this project, so I cannot just change languages on a whim. All of the developers know C++, and have C++.

Several developers would have to purchase and learn C# in order to do this.

About half of this project will be comprised of Visual C++ projects that are currently being used in another application.

Are these existing applications in the .NET framework, or the older MFC-style VC++?

If the latter, make sure you have access to a good punching bag.

These projects were originally created in the older VC++ 6.0, but we migrated the whole thing over to .NET about a year ago.

OK.

I just got bad flashbacks from that description. [Smile]
