Migrating ATL Apps to Visual C++.NET
I am in the process of migrating an application from VC++ 6.0 to Visual C++.NET. This article has extremely useful:
"This article presents steps required to migrate Windows service applications (also called NT services) written using Visual C++ 6.0 and ATL to Visual C++.NET. Most of ATL and MFC code requires only recompilation when upgrading Visual Studio from version 6.0 to .NET. Unfortunately, this is not the case with ATL service applications. Part of ATL7 that handles Windows services has been rewritten, so most of the code that ATL Wizard generated in Visual C++ 6.0 is no longer needed – actually, the code is still in use, but it has been moved to ATL classes rather than being copied by Wizard to every service application you create. The downside of this improvement is that it breaks applications that were written using ATL3 (the version that came with Visual C++ 6.0)."
