problems migrating from visual c++ 6.0 to the .NET express environment

Hi everyone.

First of all, I'm new to the .NET framework but have much experience in MFC and in VISUAL c++ 6.0.

I'm now trying to migrate a project I have on the 6.0 to the express version and boy, this is difficult ....

some examples :
stdafx.h, makes many problems. evantualy I made an empty header by that name and now it seems to be compilng - I'm not sure though what is the effect on the code of my workaround.

A few more compiling problems that I don't know how to resolve :
1. I have a class in Visual c++ 6.0 defined like :
class CamsStack :public CList<void*,void*&>
How do I compile the same in the Visual express version ?
2. The project creates a DLL with class defined like this :
class AFX_EXT_CLASS ams_gdi_objects
{
...
}

I get an errormessage on that :
c:\esek_express\amsdb\ams_gdi_objects.h(29) : error C2470: 'ams_gdi_objects' : looks like a function definition, but there is no parameter list; skipping apparent body

3.const CString L_ENGLISH ="ENGLISH\n";
doesn't compile. I get :
c:\esek_express\amsdb\ams_globals.h(27) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
C:\esek_express\amsdb\ams_globals.h(27) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'L_ENGLISH'

4. PenArray[BLACK].CreatePen(PS_SOLID,m_pen,RGB(0,0,0));
and I get :
c:\esek_express\amsdb\ams_gdi_objects.cpp(60) : error C3861: 'RGB': identifier not found

All in all, it looks like I'm can't use the old MFC code....

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance,
Ohad.
