Hi,
We have few MFC 6.0 applications that are using many static libraries that
are basically our infrastructure. Now we want to develop in C#, and we don't
want to redesign all the infrastructure, that basically the libs are also
using dependencies between them. From where to start ? and suggestions ?

Thanks

The only language that can bind to static libraries is C++ (managed and/or
unmanaged), so I would suggest you to stick with C++. However, if you have
plans to migrate the infrastructure to C#, you can start by wrapping your
libraries into managed C++ classes using ME C++ or the upcomming C++/CLI.

Willy.
