c++ - resurrecting a project written in Visual studio 6 -


i've been given source code image classification application written in visual studio 6. i've tried see if of projects can compiled. there project file .dsp extension. i'm using visual c++ express 2010. when try load dsp file says needs conversion. reply yes. no avail: conversion process seems fail quietly because don't see source file icons appearing in tree view of project after this.

i've been wondering whether it's worth trying recompile old code @ all. after it's written old framework , latest wpf considered more elegant. , there's qt quite conversant in alternative.

now possibly try hold of old visual studio 6 c++ compiler, think wasting time? need ideas make informed decision on this.

if program uses mfc library can not ported "express" version of visual c++. express versions not support mfc. higher versions (the ones have pay for) can support older mfc program, typically bit of editing.

Java sticky instances of class com.mysql.jdbc.Field aggregating -
