Migrating from OWL C++ to .NET ???

Tags: owl
Hi,

I am looking into migrating software developed in C++ (using Borland C++ version 5 and OWL libraries) to a more up to date IDE/compiler.

The main IDE's I've looked at are Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Borland C++ BuilderX however I am open to other suggestions.

I'd be grateful if someone could help identify the advantages and disadvantages of the migration and any problems I may encounter.

The software is a set of Windows based applications for communicating (via serial RS 232) with down hole tools (drilling oil/gas industry).

Thanks for your time.

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is.
