Code that compiles in VS 6 doens't work in VS 2005

  Ayman - what's the distinction What questions are OK here, and what questions should be in the newsgroups I thought all the questions here were 'how to' questions
  
  

• Joe Cotugno

  For general how to questions, use the newsgroups at http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups

  I much apprecitae the suggestion cgraus:
  
  I'm basiclly looking for the easiest way to implement the following: I want to read .html files on disk and display them within my own application (not a MFC app). I don't want IE to display the html file, I want to display it myself in my own app....
  
  In the MSDN forum you sent me, it sounds like it is controlling IE to do this...
  
  Is there a nice & easy way to do what I want to do
  
  
  Thanks!

  // I'm a little frusterated that the VS 8.0 C++ compiler seems to make so many things that worked with the 6.0 compiler cease to work.

  You're jumping three iterations of a compiler that was terrible, and has made major leaps in standards conformance. VC2005 from VC2003 alone had 25 odd breaking changes, all to conform to the C++ standard.

  Have you searched your project to see if these structs are in fact defined more than once

  If the question is a general how to problem (ie. Seaching for algorithms) then the newsgroups are more appropriate. If they are regarding a specific issue then the forums should be helpful.

  IE can be hosted within your app. That's essentially what any solution is going to do. Writing your own HTML parser is really the only other option.

  So as far as are they defined more than once in the project:
  - They are only defined in the snipet I pasted in.
  - I'm also including libraries odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib libc.lib.
  
  & including files:
  #include <windows.h>
  #include <exdisp.h> /* Defines of stuff like IWebBrowser2. This is an include file with Visual C 6 and above */
  #include <mshtml.h> /* Defines of stuff like IHTMLDocument2. This is an include file with Visual C 6 and above */
  #include <mshtmhst.h> /* Defines of stuff like IDocHostUIHandler. This is an include file with Visual C 6 and above */
  
  I have no idea why the compiler is complaining about this. With regards to 6.0 -> 8.0 compiler... that's too bad... :(

  I'd suggest looking at this:

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/workshop/browser/mshtml/tutorials/sink.asp

  instead of trying to do it using C.

  And I can understand what you mean, but it's really quite excellent. VC6 is a *terrible* C++ compiler, VC2005 is an excellent one :-)
