hi,guys,I got these problem:
My boss want me to write a program,which is a small tool with a nice GUI,use the Visual Studio.net 2003,the visual C++.net,to write the windows forms program,but I cannot find anything useful by the google,somebody could help me to how to start? are there any books or manual?
PS:I am a fresh man with C++,learned something about MFC
.NET is a language completely separate from C++ (this applies to C++.NET, too), so I'm afraid you're in the wrong forum.
Also, it is my opinion that unless you put in your resume you knew .NET, you shouldn't have to do this since, like I said, C++.NET is a completely different language from C++. Either that, or tell him that you can do it, but you need to learn the language, as it is not C++, despite what anyone can say. Since you already know C++, this shouldn't take an exorbitant amount of time. This will have one of the following effects:
* It will buy you more time.
* The project will change to a different environment, such as native C++.
* Someone else will be assigned to the project.
* The project will be scrapped.
thanks, helios, I just find the difference between them, I have to try my best,you know ,this is my first mission,cause I just graduated from school...

It is not the wrong forum, the title and subtitle of this forum is:
Windows Programming
Win32, MFC, ATL, C++/CLI, .NET ...
I would also disagree that .NET is a language, it is a framework. A core aspect of the framework is the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) with Microsoft's implementation being called the Common Language Runtime (CLR)...but anyway...
If I remember correctly, Visual Studio.net 2003 uses Managed Extensions for C++.1 Visual Studio 2005 uses C++/CLI .2 There seems to being a distinct lack of good resources to learn these, but if you search amazon for C++/CLI you should find something (I recommend avoiding Managed Extensions for C++, but even better do .NET development with C#).
I would also advise trying to use VS2005 or 2008 which use C++/CLI rather than Managed Extensions.
The biggest problem I have with .Net is the size of the framework - you can spend a lot of time searching docs to find which class to use for something, then which specific method, etc.
But persevere, and if you have particular problems try posting here - if someone does know the answer they will try and help:-)

Huh. What do you know?

Well, yeah... It's not quite a language since it doesn't define syntax, but it does define just about every other aspect. Compiler output, memory management, paradigm, standard library.
Let's face it. It's Java with syntax plugins.
