Visual C++ to Visual C#
So, after a couple of weeks messing around (and to be honest – not getting very far!!!) with Visual C++ finally decided that it was probably best to go with Visual C# .NET instead. C# is much more ‘understandable’ to me, having done Java before, and hope that should make the code much easier to develop and maintain. In fact I’ve got further in couple of days with C# than I had with 2 weeks of C++, and with each I was starting at the same level, I’d not used either before.
Have even got as far (in the recoded MSG Alert program) as connecting up to the server, sending and receiving responses, so I think the ‘hard’ bits are all done, and I just need to spend some time putting it all together
