I'm trying to compile some code made in Visual C++ 6 in
Visual Studio .NET 2002. But I get and error that the
file ATLAPP.H is not present.
The application I am trying to compile is a .dll plugin
for outlook.
Is this file deprecated on .NET or maybe I need to
reinstall my VS.NET 2002, or do I need to use another
header file?
Thanks in advance.

P.S.- You can reply to my email.
atlapp.h is part of WTL. Be sure to have WTL accessible, and reference
the WTL include directory in either Tools->Options or the project
settings. You might also want to install the WTL new project wizard
(for 7.1, there's a small tweak you need to make).
In case you don't know what WTL is, as Chris Sell's put it "WTL is,
spiritually at least, what the MFC team would've come up with had they
started with the C++ language as it is today" [1].
You can get WTL 7.0 from here [2] (it ways Windows XP is the only
supported OS, but that's not true). WTL 7.1 is also on its way soon.
There's a fairly active mailing list for WTL at [3]. The newsgroup
microsoft.public.vc.atl also is a resource. Codeproject has several
articles on WTL [4]. Bjarke Viksoe also has WTL based samples on his
web site [5]. The closest thing to a book about WTL is [6] and then some
links from [1].
