Would it be better to transpose a Microsoft .NET program to standalone by modifying the existing code, or to just use the existing code as a reference? By standalone, I mean that the .NET framework (nor any other) would not have to be installed on the machine. Preferably, I’d prefer the option which would take the least time, even if it is slightly buggy.
It depends how extensive the use of .NET is in the existing code. Some managed C++ looks very similar to native C++ — in this case you’ll be better off replacing the .NET parts with equivalent native C++ libraries. On the other hand, some managed C++ uses a lot of .NET-isms such as ^ references throughout the code, in which case a re-write is probably in order.
