Using mscorlib & system namespace in an MFC?

[Robert_Sitter]

Hey there, last question for a while I swear

I've become somewhat familiar with the functions associated under System:: but can't seem to figure out how to use them in a MFC app. Whenever I try to compile get errors that System is not a namespace and mscorlib.dll must be compiled using /clr method. I've added /clr and also tried CL to compile but got errors there too.
I've added references to System under COM for my project but it didn't work and don't seem to have the feature for creating managed C++ apps with my program.

Does this mean I have to forget everything I know in C++ to learn .NET?

All I want to add is this:

#using <mscorlib.dll>
using namespace System;

That's all!

Thanks,

Rob Sitter

Why would you want to use .Net and MFC in the same program? Just curious ...

Can you post the errors?

Yep, give us some error messages.

You don't need that #using line to use C++/CLI.

You need to add a reference in your project to System and whatever other stuff you'll be using

You need to turn /CLR, RTTI, and SEH exceptions ON for any source files that you want to use C++/CLI in.

You need to link against the multithreaded DLL runtime libraries.
