I'm just looking for opinions out there - what is the feeling when it comes to trying to go to programming in Visual C++/MFC when one has only C# experience?

Myself, I havent done much with C#, but I sense to go from C++ to C# would be a lot easier.

Trying to fill a developer position and would like someone w/C++ experience, but a lot of the candidates we are getting is programmers with just C# experience. Just wondering what kind of learning curve there would be for that individual (versus an entry level programmer with no experience at all).

Thanks,
Greg
