Problem porting a Visual C++ 6 application to Visual C++ 2005

Problem porting a Visual C++ 6 application to Visual C++ 2005

• Frederic Feytons

  I've tryed using Step Into, but it stops from going ahead and don't capture API events, so the project stills stopped.

  If somebody can, download the project from CodeProject and try to debug it. If you need more information tell me, but I'm only starting to learn how to work with Visual C++ applications.

  And now Does anybody know what these errors mean

  I'm migrating the VC++ 6 project do VC++ .Net because on Visual C++ 6 its very hard to work with visual (MFC) applications. So I thought that would be easier on Visual Studio 2005 (VC++ 8).

  Thanks.

  But you still not describe which part of your code not working! What function you have that not working as expected and how is expected Does it work when compiled in VS6 If you want some good help - you must describe your problem with as much details as you can.

  Migrating from VC++ 6 to VC++ .NET is not simple as may looks like. You will have to rewrite much of code. .NET is not MFC and do not support MFC apps. It have different runtime, different memory management, different UI library... You will need to rewrite almost whole project.

  Actually I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional to migrate the application.

  I have no compilation errors, so I don't know in which part of the code the error is. When compiled by VC++ 6, it runs without problem and when it detects another process initialization it stops it. But when compiled with VS 2005, I can run everything, because it doesn't intercepts the process start.

  Is this the information you need

  If your using Express, then it does not support MFC!

  It's a MFC project...

  I got it here: http://www.codeproject.com/system/soviet_protector.asp

  Hmm... No. I mean you have to locate some places that you are interested to check that they executed and add there Trace.WriteLine("check"). Then you will be able to read trace logs and see that your code was executed. For example of such places - when you register your driver (if I understand right - this project have driver), when driver receive IOCTL, when checks made - allow or not to run for new process, etc. Another way is to manually debug all this places and see that program works as expected, but debug will be harder task.

  I've changed the Project Properties, so now it's configured to use MFC libraries, and now I got this errors and warnings.

  Thanks Sergey! I didn't notice the no compilation errors hence I deleted my previous post.

  As you indicated, more details will be needed to diagnose the issue.

  Thanks,

  So, does anyone know how can I do a Visual C++ 2005 application to work with API Hooking and prevent .EXE files execution

  Or with C#

  Anyone

  Thanks

  Hi!
  
  You need to provide more information about your problem. Which library you use - MFC, ATL, WTL, STL... or clean Win32 API What function not working as you expected - post it here, so we can see it.

  Can you put trace to see that there is no errors happens during installation of this interceptor Perhabs it's never activated because it failed to register itself. The only way to get this problem caught - find where it started, trace it.
