Managed Extensions Example That Calls the Amazon Web Service

Description:I recently attended a major conference where I was surprised to hear many extremely intelligent and talented programmers state that they had not spent a lot of time working with or investigating Web services and what they could do for their companies. When I asked a few of them why, I was shocked to hear that many of them had gotten the idea that Web services were just too much of a pain to work with from C++. I do agree that writing a Web services client from an MFC application requires several steps. However, the magic of Visual C++ is that you can mix native (non-.NET) and managed (.NET) code.
