I'm preparing a new version of an MPEG encoder application which is now a Win32 C++ app based on DirectX and some ASM routines.
For this new version I'd like a major release to embrace new .Net technology, so it seems that the solution would be to:
- use WinForms or the GUI for multilanguage and skin support
- use C/C++ and ASM for encoding routines for speed
- use DirectShow for the video playback
How should I start the new Visual Studio 2005 application A Win32 A WinForms
Any tips, suggestions
Thanks for help.
Hybrid application: C++, Win32 and WinForms

In visual studio 2005 you can have multiple projects in your solution. So you could start with a WinForms app in C# and later add a new project using Visual C++ to the same solution.
By default the solution view is disabled (Can some one from MickeySoft answer why ), but can be enabled by checking Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->General->Always show solution.
In your solution properties you can enable/disable project startup properties (you can even have multiple projects starting) and can also configure your build properties and order.
My only suggestion is that you start with a blank solution template and add C#/C++/VB or even J# projects to that solution as required. Hope this helps!
