Visual C++ 7.0 / .NET

[matt2001]

OK - I'm very confused. I even went to Developer Days in Seattle. Total waste of time. Wireless/Internet mumbo jumbo.

Let's say I have a client that lives on an deserted Island. No internet connection. The Window's application I developed for him works great with 6.0. I want to rebuild it in 7.0, or whatever the latest version of C++ will be called. Will it build without modification? Will it run same as before?

The migration from 5.0 to 6.0 was minimal. Can we expect the same for 7.0?

Thank you,
Matt

I recently got hold of the beta 1 of .Net not knowing that the Beta 2 was about to come out!

I decided to rebuild my project which had been developed with version 5 & 6 of VC++, and the only problem I found in recompiling was that in a lot of my message handlers I had written


LRESULT CMyClass::OnMyMessage(LPARAM p1, WPARAM p2)




instead of

LRESULT CMyClass::OnMyMessage(WPARAM p1,LPARAM p2)




And it flagged this as a compilation error, which it hasn't in version 5 & 6.

I can't recall any other changes required.

However I did find a problem with the resultant executable, which I've reported elsewhere in this forum.







Hope this helps

A problem with the missing mfc42d.lib. From where should I take it out? projects/settings/link ... maybe not!
I copy it from another machine but ... could not register....
any suggestion?
