Features: "Because the .NET classes provide disconnected data, in-memory database (IMDB), regular expressions, and data encryption, for those who are eager to fully utilize the power of .NET classes based on existing MFC code, Tom Archer's book is a must-read." — Erik Westermann, Chief Architect, Eidenai Innovations
This book is a reference guide for MFC developers to learn how to integrate .NET functionality into existing MFC applications to improve development efficiency. Tom Archer thoroughly explains how to use the .NET Base Class Library (BCL) to supplement or enhance MFC classes, enabling MFC developers to create more elegant and robust Windows programs more efficiently. Each chapter begins by introducing the technology, summarizing its advantages, listing practical application scenarios, and summarizing the required syntax. As a book in the Archer series, all the knowledge taught is accompanied by simple and practical demonstration programs to help readers solidify their understanding. This book answers common questions for MFC developers using .NET:
· What are the key points when combining MFC and managed extensions?
· How to use regular expressions to parse documents for multiple complex types (e.g., email addresses)?
· How to use hash codes to verify user passwords that have not been saved?
· How does an MFC application maintain XML-formatted data?
· After adding ADO.NET, how to search, sort, and filter data?
· What techniques can be used with ADO.NET classes to read image data from a database?
· What are the optional solutions when handling disconnected data and concurrency?
· How to use remote processing to pass MFC objects between applications?
The CD provides all downloadable source code, demonstration programs, test code included in the book, and several efficiency-enhancing tools, such as the Visual Studio .NET Custom AppWizard. This book provides a detailed introduction to the technology of integrating the .NET framework into existing MFC applications. The book is divided into 11 chapters, covering topics such as regular expressions, file I/O and registry, data encryption, XML and DOM, ADO.NET database, remote processing, event logging, etc. To help readers thoroughly understand how to use the .NET framework to extend MFC programs, the author provides demonstration programs for each knowledge point, practical project creation guidance, and numerous case programs. This book is suitable as a reference for programmers with MFC programming knowledge, especially for those dedicated to using the .NET Base Class Library (BCL) in MFC applications.
