MFC is for VC++. I believe its still available in VC++.NET so I guess you can still use it.
hmm
so it's just like .NET? it's a library ?
Similar, but it is a COM library if I understand right. I think it is more about helping you create a GUI, but I could be wrong.
if it's for making a GUI then it should be useless in .NET
Like I said, I could be wrong, I am not a C++ programmer.
Except in C++ you can still write unmanaged code (non .NET). MFC kinda makes making windows applications easier, its like bringing the VB Form designer to C.
hmm :) one more question, does it have classes like GDI too? (can you draw shapes and stuff with it?)Quote:

Well it has classes not really for drawing but for common windows items, you don't need the MFC to draw with. For instance has a CDialog class for what in vb would be a form and other classes that work like the controls and things like that.
Its MFC, Microsoft Foundation Classes, or the classes that make up a basic windows applications, since C/C++ isn't specific to Windows, exactly.
