If you write managed code and interop with unmanaged, you know the pain involved with marshaling string types across runtimes... If you write MFC apps and want to take advantage of new whiz bang shell UI features (aka common controls) without writing more code that specifically targets Vista, for example, well you can. All of this thanks to Sarita and team!
Sarita Bafna is a Program Manager on the VC++ Libraries team. Her current focus is on MFC support for common controls (including Vista's new set of cool common controls) and the new Marshaling library (it marshals managed types to unmanaged types and vice-versa. Only string types are supported in this release) in VC++ "Orcas".
Tune in and learn about these new VC++ constructs available in "Orcas".
