A splash screen is just a dialog box with some nice UI stuff on it. You can show a modeless dialog and then close it after your program has loaded. Or if your program loads too fast, use a timer to wait for a second and then close it.

Yeah!you are right.
I had read your articles and find that it is very good.
I wannt know how you study programming?
Would you like to give me some advice?

You can ask this in the Lounge where more experienced people will answer you. I am not such a good programmer. Not even as good as I myself thought. I lack proper OOP theory and stuff like that. I am learning too. People here are real nice and helpful. So you'll soon get answers to your problems

I just have to know what MC++ is good for? 
I mean... I can use the .NET classes in my Visual C++ .NET apps if I use MC++.
But why is it god for?
I want to learn it because the use of .NET classes in VC++.NET and asking you about a book. Is "Visual C++ .NET Step by Step" a good book about MC++? I think I've heard that before.....
HELP NOW!!
ps. this is my first message in the MC++ forum and I can bet one dollar about Nish will answer me! (Nish, ANSWER!!!)

MC++ allows you to mix managed and unmanaged code. You can write .NET wrappers for unmanaged functions and classes. COM Interop is more efficient in MC++ than in C# because you can use IJW instead of P/Invoke. You can use ATL, WTL, MFC etc. from your MC++ apps. I guess there are other reasons too, but these are what come to mind now!

MC++ allows legacy C++ code to be called from .NET applications and for this it is very good. The feeling of calling managed C++ code from a C# application is a wonderous one.
The book Visual C++.NET Step by Step is a very good book and it will help you realise why we have MC++ and the power the it holds. I highly recommend it.

Let's not forget the garbage collection. You can stop using "delete" and creating destructors. No more memory leaks or those horrible crashes in memory freed twice!

From what I've heard people say about that book, it's more of an MFC book I'd say with a few chapters dedicated to MC++

I believe that a good programmer has to be able to manage his/her own memory. I am wondering how much overhead the garbace collection produce?

No, you're thinking of Tom Archer's book, Visual C++.NET Bible; Visual C++.NET Step by Step is an MC++ book.

I believe a good programmer uses the best tools for the job, and MC++ is a good tool.

Nah, its pure .NET. I can't see any MFC code in the book at all. It does a bit of ATL but only the new Server stuff. A very good book for a C++ programmer wanting to know how they can use their knowledge under .NET

Is MC++ worth learning if I've already started learning C# and do not have any Unmanged code that I need to keep?
I also need some ideas of C++ API's or other programming languages(non .NET) that I could learn. The reason im asking this is becuase I think I need a break from .NET and MFC for a little while.

Nope! MC++ is nearly unsupported by VS.NET. A lot of things just dont work for MC++ the same way it does for C#. So unless you wanna hand code everything stick to C#. Specially since you don't wanna do any unmanaged stuff!

Maybe, ATL?

Thanks nish, I know this is the wrong forum for this question but I thought I might as well continue with this thread. What exactly is ATL I know it deals with servers or somthing...

Take a look at this MC++ class :-
public __gc class Class2
{
public:
int Abc()
{
int y=8;
return y;
}
};
Now here is some C# code that instantiates this class :-
Class2 c1 = new Class2();
int y=c1.Abc();
This is confusing to me. Abc() returns an int and not an Int32. It returns a C++ int. Now we know that the C# int actually maps to a .NET Int32. What puzzles me is how the C++ int auto-converts into a C# int which auto-boxes to a Int32!

There is no mystery
C++ .NET C#
int -> System.Int32 -> int
System::String->System::String->string
So C++ compiler actually emits metadata as System.Int32. C# compiler reads System.Int32 and maps it to int.
