From C++Builder to Visual Studio 2008

I'm inheriting 开发者_StackOverflow社区a native C++ application. It was developed with C++Builder.

Right now, I already have a copy of Visual Studio 2008 installed on my system. Is there anything that would prevent me from building the system with Visual Studio, even though it was developed in C++Builder?

I'm already familiar with Visual Studio, so that's one advantage. Additionally, it looks like I'd end up with another license fee, to buy C++ Builder.

If the application only uses the Win32 API directly, getting it to work with VC++ is probably a reasonable possibility. If, as seems much more likely, it uses VCL (or one of Borland's other class libraries), then building it with VC++ will probably require a substantial (quite possibly bordering on total) rewrite.
