Microsoft’s .NET Framework is an exciting new technology for a developer looking for every productivity enhancement available. My purpose in writing this book is to help you balance the usefulness of this new technology against the need to maintain existing code. By the time you complete this book, you’ll not only know how to work with .NET to create some relatively complex applications, but you’ll better understand when .NET is a good choice for application development.
Visual C++ .NET Developer’s Guide contains a mix of theory and programming examples, with a heavy emphasis on the programming examples. You’ll find a mix of Win32, MFC, ATL, and .NET code within the book. In some cases, I’ll show you how to mix an existing technology with a new one—Visual C++ .NET is definitely a transitional language, one that will help you move from Win32 application development to .NET. Here’s a brief overview of the six parts of this book. download
