Question

I have a large application written in C++, For various reasons I am going to rewrite it in C#, I have done plenty of Delphi to C#, VB to C# but C++ to C# I have never done, although I am competent in C++ I want this to be as smooth a conversion as possible.

Mainly what I am asking is what pitfalls await me in this conversion is there any key areas I should be aware of or any advice you can provide me.

This article is quite good, but is there anything else I should be weary of?

Answer 1

Main pitfall – do not think it’s an upgrade. These are DIFFERENT languages, and in many places you will need complete different approach to the problems. So you should think reimplementation with minimal code reuse.

This article is decent.
