This means that you can migrate your application to be consumed as a zero foot print web site. There is also an alpha feature that is currently under development which will allow you to deploy to either platform(WinForms/WebForms) with the same code base. Check it out in this sample video: http://www.visualwebgui.com/Default.aspx?tabid=314 Cheers, Guy Peled Founder & Chief Architect Gizmox - Visual WebGui

But I think that a book to start-up the MFC learning process is required. I think that, if I did not read Prosise's book, I couldn't understand the subjects that we find in this newsgroup or on CodeProject. MrAsm

Don't forget the scribble example either. I did that one like 5 times when I was first getting started. There are a lot of basics in that tutorial: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f35t8fts(VS.80).aspx Tom "MrAsm" <mrasm(a)usa.com> wrote in message news:e5o613pr4ftn8otgcigea9013ja7j2bcqo(a)4ax.com... > On Tue, 3 Apr 2007 17:56:05 -0700, "Tom Serface" > <tom.nospam(a)camaswood.com> wrote: > >>I like Prosise's book.
