For the love of [pick a diety], why are you using MFC on a .NET platform?
Either use the new WinForms system, or use WTL.

And post questions like these to on-topic newsgroups, like the MSDN managed
ones, so you won't get off-topic answers.

There, you'll find plenty of people who love MFC. This is called the
"Stockholm Syndrom".

I dont love MFC. .NET is just too big for my small tool application
(bandwidth usage monitor). Anyway I think .Net is too unstable and
underdevelopped to do more than webpages with it

Why people call it "Stockholm Syndrom"??

The Stockholm Syndrome is when hostages start to identify with their
captors. I think Phlip was being sarcastic (but he was right on the money
IMHO).

As to whether Stockholm Syndrome applies to customers of abusive
service providers (Microsoft, AOL, Blockbuster Video, etc.), I think
this is much more akin to the behavior of a battered spouse. In order to
justfy bad choices, people will often rationalize and defend their
tormentors, even to the extent of projecting the same aspects onto other
people's spouses and providers: ``Her husband really is mean to her, and
her Mac crashes just as often as my PC.''

I have noticed that people usually love their new cars for at least a
year, no matter what kind of lemon they've bought: ``Yeah, my Saturn's
been in the shop a few times, but I still believe in the concept. By the
way, have you seen my new Gateway PC?

C++ provides more than enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot. I can
program WTL and C++ faster than anyone in any language, with fewer bugs,
because I'm completely profficient. But I can't recommend C++ to anyone,
including me.

Our industry lives in interesting times.

If you simply must use C++, then use WTL. It has all the good bits of MFC,
but with a much smaller conceptual footprint.
