MFC developers, along with their hundreds of thousands of existing applications, are not going to migrate to .NET overnight. On the other hand, there is no doubt that .NET is the future of Microsoft development. Therefore, instead of writing yet another .NET book trying to move MFC developers to .NET entirely, this book attempts to get these MFC developers on board today by showing them how to continue using MFC and combine it with .NET…
