Hello, I have some VC6 DLLs and I want to use them with NET EXEs (MFC 7.0),
but the linker give me many errors, especially in functios with CStrings
(parameters or return); How can I fix it? or have I to compile the VC6 DLLs
in NET?

Thanks in advance,
William GS

You need to recompile MFC DLLs with the same version of the compiler that
you're using for the EXE. They're not binary compatible across VC6 -> VC7
(nor VC7 -> VC7.1 nor VC7.1 -> VC8, as far as I know).
