Hi All,
I have a activex application(dll) developed in VC++6.0(wtl,atl) that
runs in IE.
I'm planning to convert this application to .Net3.5(VS2008) in C# or VC
++.net
How to convert and which one(C# or VC++) is better

Thanks,
Sony

Convert to what, an ASP.NET web application? I will assume you know that you
cannot create an Active-X control in VS 2008.

If my guess is correct, I would suggest C# (my opinion only) for two
reasons:

1. Converting your VC 6.0 code (old, non-standards compliant compiler) to
C++/CLI is not a trivial task, and VS 2008 does not support creation of web
apps in C++.

2. C# gets you full web app support and gives you access to many new
technologies built into VS 2008 that aren't supported in C++ projects.
