N-Track

N-Track is a work-time tracking system developed for Microsoft Windows. It came about by accident. I had been involved in the development of an ASP based work-time tracking system for my Company. Later on I had planned on converting it to .NET. But sadly my company wanted a version that could run on a Linux Box and thus the web application was recoded using PHP. Anyway I had planned on using a remoting server and I didn`t want to drop the idea. That`s when Chris Maunder started this VC++.NET competition and I thought what the heck, specially after James T Johnson also gave it The Green signal. It`s not much of an app really, but it demonstrates how you can write a Windows service using Managed C++ and how you can set it up as a remoting server. It also shows how you can mix managed code with your MFC applications that can then act as remoting clients.
