I've been meaning to post this for a while, however as usual, it keeps getting knocked down the todo list.

Given the advent of VS2013 Community edition, and the challenges of modifying KMotionCNC with MFC, would it be possible to create a sample app in VS2013 using .net that users could then use as a base for their own customisations?

I've noticed a couple people recently mention modifying KMotionCNC, and given MFC is being deprecated, I was thinking if there was a basic/skeleton app, there could then be examples of how to add extra features (I'm thinking something along the lines of a wiki).

I would have an attempt at it myself, however writing computer apps isn't something I've much experience of, so although I can usually piece bits together, I'm certainly no expert at writing an app from scratch.

I have had a look around the supplied .net examples in VS2013, but they only seem to cover the very basics. I've got no idea how things like tool/work offsets are handled i.e. are they handled within the KMotion DLLs by simply passing the offsets, or would they need to be handled within the app?

Also, what should the basic structure of a more advanced app actually be?
