Upgrading V8i MDL Apps to Connect

Is there any documentation on the absolute basic essentials to implement when porting from V8i mdl's to Connect?.  I have written a few mdls in the past and want to now re-compile them for Connect.  I have no idea where to start, and am not familiar with Windows programming.  I previously made use of Select Series III SDK - I am lost in unfamiliar territory.  I am hoping there is a fairly easy way out!

    The move from 32-bit MicroStation V8 to 64-bit MicroStation CONNECT requires more than a recompile.  First, you need the C++ compiler and linker supplied with Visual Studio, and you need the right version of Visual Studio.

    The MicroStationAPI is mostly a C++ interface.  There are one or two remnants of MDL, but don't count on them.  Think 'classes' not 'procedural' code.  Examine the sample apps. delivered with the SDK.  Ask more questions here.
