Migrating from 6.0 to .NET???

[martin_craigen]

Has anyone else considered migrating to .NET?

I have a current thread on the .NET forum asking for help resolving CString problems. It's looking like I'll have to do a fair amount of work to port my existing code to .NET.

I've searched the web for guidelines on migrating from anyone who has gone through the experience, but there is precious little out there. In fact I get the impression that the vast majority are avoiding migration altogether, possibly because of the same kind of problems I am facing.

So... any comments anyone?

Please take the time and look for the problem in the Visual C++ .NET forum to avoid duplicating the discussion of the same problem...thank you very much.

Thanks for taking the time to reply guys.

Arjay -

My problems are with CStrings, for details see my thread on the "Visual C++ .NET" forum, http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=322392

I have spent HOURS looking through the .NET forum looking for solutions to the CString problems I am facing. I could not find any threads that satisfactorily solved the problem. I found a few threads in the general area, but many of them were left "hanging" with no solution. I get the impression that some people have given up on .NET and stayed with v6.0.

That is the main reason I created my own new thread on the .NET forum (see above).

I then noticed the vast difference between the number of people participating in the two forums, with this forum having more than 100 times more posts than the .NET forum.

So, I thought I'd try to find out if anyone else on THIS forum has experienced the same problems with CStrings in migrating to .NET, i.e. tried to migrate then gave up because they could not find a satisfactory solution.

Anyway, what is the best forum to post a question about migrating FROM v6 to .NET if not here? The .NET forum is "specifically for Visual C++ .NET discussions."

The forum here is okay with the current question....I simply do not want the discussion of your specific problem happen here to avoid duplication.

Discussing general pitfalls etc. however, is fine in this thread...
