Visual studio gui

[kohlh]

I have a quick question when I am using visual studio and doing a project in c# the windows form application is super easy to use and has a great interface to create buttons and textboxes and everything just built in. How come c++ does not have the same features in its MFC application

MFC is outdated. Older versions of visual studion had support for that. But i guess it's more or less abandoned

So MFC 11 in Visual Studio 2012 is outdated?

Yep (it's my personal opinion, not official Microsoft)

See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Foundation_Class_Library

for a little bit more info (seems there's something like 'The MFC application wizard')

Well that's OK then. ;0)

To be honest "Windows Form Applications" are looking dated to me...WPF Application...what's the new one, "Windows Store project ^(?)."

It seems all about the XAML now...
