Hi, I want to write a web application with C++ as the code behind it.
I want to use existing code, which uses CString, but it would be great
if I could use ATL to take care of that.

I am having difficulty, looks to me like it is much more difficult
(technical) to use C++ rather than C#.

I am considering using C# Web App and C++ web services.

Is there a good book or web resource I can go to, to give me a nice
run down on the best way to create C++ web services or C++ Web
applications that use ATL or MFC (and how to deploy them)?

Many thanks,
Tony.

The book that is perhaps the most helpful in this
particular area is "Visual C++.NET - A Managed Code
Approach for Experienced Programmers" in the "Deitel
Developer Series" of programming texts. It has an 87-page
chapter on C++ Web services using .NET, with some good
example applications. It also has a 75-page chapter
on ATL Web services with sample code, but I haven't had
occasion to use ATL Server, so I can't give you a
meaningful evaluation of that chapter's value.

Good luck!

apress has a book, "ATL Server: High Performance C++ on .NET" written by
Pranish Kumar (Product Manager for ATLS at MS) along with Crivat, Crewal and
Lee. It is an excellent and definitive guide to ATLS and has good
real-world examples and information.

disclaimer: I was a tech reviewer for the book, so even though I don't get
anything out of it, I don't mind pimping the book when the chance arises.

I think the only good book on ATL server is this one:

I haven't read this book because I am completely .NET these days <g>.
However, I know Jasjit Grewal and Pranish Kumar from the time when I wrote a
lot of articles about ATL Server. They are on the ATL Server team, so you
can guarantee that you are getting the information about ATL Server from the
guys who wrote it.
