Hi All,

I apologize if this is a repeat, but I'm a VC (no MFC) programmer
and have a couple books on managed C++ (Fraser and Challa books). I am going
to have time to go through them soon and was wondering if C++/CLI and .NET 2
will make the study of these books a waste of time. I appreciate any advise.

Thank You - M

Concerning the *syntax*, all (99% at least) of "managed extensions" constructs have a
C++/CLI equivalent.

Concerning the .NET API and facilities (Forms, Buttons, etc), they remain the same, along
with whatever new things .NET 2 will bring.

Thank you Ioannis. Sounds like a green light to study these texts.

The move from managed extensions to C++/CLI is easy. However if you can wait till autumn
when VS 2005 will become available, so as to learn the .NET 2 stuff directly, I suggest
you do that. In the meantime, you could read something else useful, like learning more ISO
C++.
