I still have no idea how .NET syntax works, but somehow the app runs perfectly. Happy to answer anything if folks are curious. I have both versions of the source code (the original MFC one and the GPT-generated one), in case anyone's interested.

That actually sounds awesome. Running IE5.5 on Win98 for a SPA app? Respect. And yeah, VC6 still works on my Win11 machine

Appreciate it! I’ve actually just moved out of the trailer. I stay in my ex-wife’s garage for now, but might leave Canada for good. Thanks for taking the time to read. Means a lot.

Thanks a lot, man! I hope this reply isn’t considered “low-effort garbage” and gets me punished by the forum bots

Really appreciate that! It gives me hope. Right now, I’m not in the headspace to pick up new coding skills. I’m more focused on processing everything emotionally and capturing/archiving it in a YouTube video (YT: CAD老狗). But yeah, I’ll definitely try it soon.Thank you!

Thanks, truly appreciate your message! yes, I’ve thought about picking up modern tools, especially LLMs. But at this point, I’m more focused on building something meaningful through YT. It’s a new path I’m exploring, maybe my last one.

Thanks you all! I’m still using Visual C++ 6.0 mainly for AutoCAD plugin development (ObjectARX), targeting some legacy projects that are still alive. Happy to share more if anyone’s curious how to survive with a 25-year-old compiler today.

Thank you. It's been rough, but still coding. Messages like yours help more than you know.

I’ve never posted here before. If anyone’s ever been through something similar, would love to hear from you, thank you
