port a MFC application to .NET

[Tony Johansson]

We have a big and rather complex MFC dll that we intent to port to .NET.
If we intent to port the code to a managed C++.dll will this be nearly as
much as rewriting
everything to C#.

Tony,

It's difficult to say without knowing more of your DLL.

If the exposed interface from your .Net converted component is a small
portion of the source code you could leave most of the code as native
and use C++/CLI to create a .Net wrapper without having to rework most
of your code.
