Summary: I hope there's better
Comment: I agree 100% with dc man2002 review. As an experienced/professional VC++ developer, I found this book completely useless as a reference to VC++ .Net. The book claims to cover UI development in VC++ .Net, but I don't think the acronym MFC was mentioned once in the book. I was looking more for something that would cover the new aspects of VC++ with a smooth transistion from 6.0 to .Net. I found myself starting to skip pages, then chapters, trying to find something to make the connection. I started to wonder if the author had ever written a VC++ 6.0 application. After reading a section about UI development that said something to the effect "You'd be better off doing this in C#", I was almost positive he hadn't. This book would be accurately titled ".Net Managed C++ Extensions."

Summary: Awful, Pushes C# and Managed extensions
Comment: If you want to move from Visual C++ 6.0 to the newest version 7.0 or .NET, this book will either A) make you learn 600+ pages of managed extensions and C# that you don't need, thus you'll end up cursing Microsoft for making life so difficult for everybody; or B) will discourage you from using VC .NET altogether. Why not simply devote a tiny chapter to demonstrating how to do basic things familiar from VC 6.0 in unmanaged code and without C# ? The reader is lead to believe that Visual Studio .NET is unusable without these two.
For example, the authors claim that it is impossible to develop graphical interface in VC++ .NET and one has to design these features in C# and then optionally port them to C++. This is gross misinformation! One can do everything that was possible in VC 6.0 and much more without a single line of managed code or C#. Most importantly this new version of Visual C++ is standard compliant and supports all the newest additions to the language, including STL. MFC and everything else are expanded and improved etc. One doesn't need managed code or C# to use all these features. Granted, managed extensions might be helpful in internet programming, but again, they are not indispensible, contrary to what the authors will tell you.
I should admit though that the book was written about beta version of the Visual Studio .NET; the title is somewhat misleading however: the book is about .NET extension of Visual C++, not about Visual C++ .NET as one might think. Bottom line: this book makes you learn two new languages: managed C++ and C#, which you can do without.
