it is possible to convert a normal C++ Win32 API project to a .NET one in VC++?

What is the advantage of doing this (i mean using /CLR without touching ANY code)???

2) What do ya think of "managed" C++? It is worth? Or must I go to C# if I want to program with the .NET framework?

thanks

1. It is not possible as far as I know to simply convert to .NET from Win32. It can be done, but it is rather difficult, depending, of course, on the complexity of the program.

2. /CLR = Compiles into intermediate code = Runs identically on any platform with redistributable.

3. Managed C++ > C# in my opinion. Somehow I doubt many people agree with me...

.NET vs. MFC 7.1?

Tough call honestly. Both can be used to code either at a high or low level.

Personally, I prefer .NET simply because of the speed at which I can create a pretty and functional program.
