From: unf on 10 Mar 2005 00:37 Could anybody tell me what is the future of MFC? I never used that library. I just got some skills in pure C++. But some knowledgeable people are saying it's not a good idea to study MFC, because "it's going to be obsolete" and replaced by .Net. They advise me to study C# because as they say "studying MFC will take you quite a lot of time by which Longhorn will be released and all coding will be done in managed way"... Well, I really don't know which direction to elect

From: Nishant Sivakumar on 10 Mar 2005 01:54 Even if you want to do .NET development, there's always C++/CLI. So you don't have to use less performant languages like C# or VB.NET. Google for "C++/CLI" and you'll get tons of hits :-) -- Regards, Nish [VC++ MVP] http://www.voidnish.com http://blog.voidnish.com "unf" <unf(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E4649F64-DDEF-4E53-AA55-71F88830D428(a)microsoft.com... > Could anybody tell me what is the future of MFC?

Well, I really don't know > which > direction to elect > As long as Windows 98 computers exist in significant numbers MFC is one of only two logical choices for developing client side "double clickable exe" Windows applications for widespread deployment (the other choice is Delphi). ..Net is not an option for any application that: might need to be downloaded over the internet and run on Win98 because of the huge size of the runtime and low performance of .Net on older computers. There are also thousands of legacy programs written using MFC that will need maintenace for years to come, just as there is still lots of work for Cobol programmers. If you are interested in writing a ".exe" application that runs on as many computers as possible then MFC is an entirely vivable option for that purpose. Writing a significant application in MFC will certainly help you understand how Windows actually works. If you just want to find your first job then I don't know that learning MFC would be worth the effort beyond playing with the wizards a bit to get a feel for the libary. In that case I'd concentrate on learning how to write both server side and and client side apps in both .Net and Java.
