DWORD_PTR

I checked and tried what you both said. The declaration of windows.h was ok. I tried to compile the simple app with only a declaration of a DWORD_PTR

#include <windows.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {

DWORD_PTR i;

return(0);

}

Here's the errors (i disabled the precompiled option (/p) for this list)

Thanks again

Your basetsd.h is defect. My file has 440 lines!

Reinstall!

Seams OK, even the format is destroyed. Open the file in Notepad or just send me a copy per email.
Raghavendra RAV

Mine contains 440 as well.

The file basetsd.h only contains 173lines.

Here's the stdafx.h :

// stdafx.h : include file for standard system include files,

// or project specific include files that are used frequently, but

// are changed infrequently

//

#pragma once

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN // Exclude rarely-used stuff from Windows headers

#include <stdio.h>

#include <tchar.h>

// TODO: reference additional headers your program requires here
deviao9
Than set the include pathes in a correct way.
jkonair

What if you remove the windows.h from your file and add it just before including <stdio.h>

Could you show the contents of your stdafx.h please

My file has 440 lines but still, the DWORD_PTR is still undeclared...

Well, it seems like there's a BASETSD.H in VC/include and one in VC/PlateformSDK/INCLUDE... the one in the sdk does have DWORD_PTR in it and the other one don't.

Is there some kind of a 'step by step' way to convert applications from visual c++ 6 into .net Like recursive place to check-out in code and in config...

i believe the problem come from the winver :

Do the fact that i'm on Windows Server 2003 may cause some problems
