Description: See how Visual C++ 7.0 will allow you to create .NET applications. Covers managed extensions, a key technology for porting legacy code (and applications) to the .NET Framework. Teaches by example: provides readers with sample applications designed to bring new techniques into play. Includes unique coverage of ATL Server, the technology analogous to ASP.NET but much more powerful, and programmable only by Visual C++ developers. Sams Teach Yourself Visual C++ .NET in 24 Hours is for developers who want to develop .NET applications using Visual C++ 7.0 as the programming language. It covers the new features of Visual C++ which support .NET while lightly covering the new MFC and ATL enhancements as they relate to the .NET architecture, but focuses heavily on developing for the .NET Framework. The book takes the reader through a simple .NET application, a more advanced application, and Internet development in .NET. The reader is also shown the differences between managed and unmanaged Visual C++ code and how to integrate them--critical information for migrating legacy C++ applications to the .NET architecture.
