The C# FAQ lists 3 products used to "statically link" .NET, and there are

been some reports that it takes way too long to install on some systems).
Hi David:
I didn't know about this. But presumably this does not get rid of the
requirement to dynamically link to MFC/CRT in a mixed MFC/.NET application?
I ask this because I have been playing around with CWinFormsView the
last few days. One thing you can so with it is embed the .NET
DataGridView in an MFC application, like a souped-up CListView. The lack
of an MFC grid class was one of MFC's its great weaknesses, I always
thought (I tried the MSFlexGrid a long time ago, but didn't like it, and
ended up writing my own grid control).
This use of the DataGridView is really pretty neat, but I cannot imagine
that I would actually deploy it. Replacing my slim static-linked
application with one that required distributing both the MFC/CRT DLL's
and the .NET framework just does not appeal to me.
Has anybody actually used CWinFormsView (or its friends CWinFormsControl
and CWinFormsDialog) in a real application?
