Subject: Any .NET dudes here?

I had some questions pertaining to using MS VC++ for my chess program.

1.) Are they totally done away with MFC in VS .NET? The thing (MFC) was a PIB to
begin with. One of the main reasons I kept away from MS VC++. Add to that their
Scribble tutorial, which was enough to drive one insane!

From what I browsed through in the library, I gather that they are now using
some class libraries similiarly structured to C#'s and are more intuitive to
use. Also, MFC is supported but not current. Is this correct?

2.) Do they have a drag and drop mechanism for VC++ .NET as in C#? From what
little I have read so far, you have to code the window yourself or develop a
window in C# and then port it to VC++!! I hope this is not the case for every
GUI object!

All in all, do you have any personal opinions on MS VC++ .NET and the benefits
of using it for developing a chess program?

Arshad
