I have been tasked to either upgrade or rewrite a custom application that was written over 10 years ago.
It is an MCF application version 4.1 using Visual C++ 4.1.
I picked up the source code from source control which did not contain any solution or project files. The directory however does contain all of the header files, resource files, and cpp implementation files. In addition it also contains 3 separate .dsp files.
I opened the .dsp files with VS 2010 and have trouble getting the projects to build.
I want to successfully build the application so that I can better understand how the source code works so that I can ultimately rewrite it or upgrade the application to a newer version of Visual C++ etc.
Should I be using an older version of Visual Studio? What steps should I take to getting this application to build and ultimately upgraded?
