Hi,

Can anyone please explain me the meaning and differences of polymorphic class, handle, dynamic_cast, down_cast, up_cast and static_cast in details?

What is the difference between both?
Handle<Table> result = dynamic_cast(Table *, input));
Table* result = dynamic_cast(Table*, input);

I am sorry for asking too many questions at one time. I tried to read the VC++ books and still do not understand the terms. Some books always tend to describe things in a complicated way. Which books is the most recommended one? Also, The difference between VC++ and VC.Net??? People told me VC++ is going to be replaced by VC.Net?? Is that true?? What actually VC.NET can do and in what application it is widely use?? I would like to get a complete idea before I buy it.

Please help!!!! Thanks!! Appreciate that!
