VC++ to C#4.0 migration

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

We are having an application written in vc++6.0. Application has 11 extension dlls and one exe.

We want to migrate that application to C# .net.
To start with this we have planned to compile all dlls code into vc++.net.
and migrate exe to C# .net which will use the functionality of dlls which are in vc++.net. After completing this task we will migrate each dll one by one.

As I am new to C#, kindly give me suggestion how to start with the same migration process or any other alternative migration process is there.

Solution 1

VC++ and C# are different beasts altogether.

Your best bet to go to a managed platform is exactly as you have said.

The only suggestion I have is don't port to c# until it is absolutely necessary.
