  The first thing I'd do would be to break up the MFC application into a "user interface" component and separate "business logic" components, which should be separate COM components.  
  

  
  You can then start by writing a new C# UI to call the old MFC business logic.  
  

  
  When this works, I'd think about what all the "business logic" functions do and write a unit test for them in C++/MFC to make sure I understood this.
  

  
  I'd then write the same unit test in C#, using something like NUnit , port the code across, and debug it so the unit test passes.

  Thanks,
  I decided to rewrite the application.
  For the UI conversion there is a tool RC Convertor from http://www.dudelabs.com but I cannot find any other tool which can convert my business logic code from C++ to C#.Will keep you posted with my progress.
