Mesage Unit Header in VC++ VC is not my cup of tea...24-Sep-02 10:42 VC is not my cup of tea... 24-Sep-02 10:42  Need help to construct a Message Unit header requiring TCP/IP to send a message to a mainframe, gather the information requeted and return the appropriate message back to the client. This needs to be written in VC++ (but would prefer Visual Basic 6.0). Need immediate response with code snippet in VC++ or VB. Thanks!

Get an account if it's so urgent, you'll be notified via email when people reply. 2. This is what we like to call a poll. In other words, you can vote for something here, and comment on it. Codeproject also has a number of programming forums, where you're far more likely to get a response.

If you *prefer* VB, you can't possibly know anything about C++, except maybe that it's scary for you. If you think I am rude, consider how rude it is to tell us you 'need immediate response' ?

I used it as a chance to go out of my way to try and get someone else to quote me regarding VB, instead of vice versa. Don't think it's worked tho.

Nemanja Trifunovic24-Sep-02 15:46 Nemanja Trifunovic 24-Sep-02 15:46  I use MFC whenever I need to do GUI programming (which I hate), but I don't like it at all. It covers too many different things: from strings and user controls to ISAPI extensions and sockets (BTW MFC socket classes suck). On the other hand, ATL is very nicely designed, however, I don't use COM, and have worked only with ATL Server. As for STL, I use it all the time, but I was much more enthusiastic about it in the beginning than now. The same goes for Boost. But the craziest thing is that I have never found a good string class for C++ (std::basic_string sucks, as well as MFC CString). Re: MFC Rules!

It is showing its age, I've used it since the beginning and whilst we've had our fights - it has never let me down. Michael Programming is great. First they pay you to introduce bugs into software.

The poll is on libraries, not frameworks. And even as a framework, MFC sucks hairy donkey balls (it's true - read the source). It may be the best, of an arbitrary lot of really sucky frameworks, but, that doesn't count for much. The only think it has going for it is that it smooths out a few of the nastier inconsistencies in Win32. Sadly, that is enough.

However I've used MFC since its birth, so I find it easier and more comfortable to write code in. Michael Programming is great. First they pay you to introduce bugs into software.

Thomas Freudenberg23-Sep-02 11:18 Thomas Freudenberg 23-Sep-02 11:18  ...since there are different STL's available, e.g. Dinkumware (which is distributed with VisualStudio) or STLPort.

Native C++ doing well Fazlul Kabir23-Sep-02 6:44 Fazlul Kabir 23-Sep-02 6:44  Even with almost zero focus on native C++ and in the midst of heavy push for .NET from Microsoft marketing, it seems that native C++ libraries such as MFC/ATL/WTL/STL are doing pretty good so far. Oh well, only time will tell what we'll see next. // Fazlul Get RadVC today!

Christian, that does not mean that MFC users don't use STL or they dislike STL. IMHO, MFC and STL are complimentary and not contradictory. STL has a great collection of container classes and can be easily used from MFC. On the other hand, MFC provides a great Windowing framework that STL does not, at least officially.
