  Hello, I just downloaded VS C++ Express Edition, and tried to build a console application using command-line. When I start the app it does not find MSVCR80.DLL. I digged into the problem, and found out that my installation of VS is version 8.0.50727.42, but the header file crtassem.h says it is version 8.0.50608.0. The latter version number is entered into the manifest file when it is generated, and I actually don't have this version of the DLL ...Show All

• mogulati C++ in VS2005: Enable automatic copy of depentend 3rdparty unmanaged dlls

  Hi, I am creating a managed C++ class library that uses several unmanaged old-style C++ libraries (with .h, .lib and .dll files). These dependent dll-files are located on a specific path on my computer, but each time I create a C# application that uses the managed C++ class library (which again uses the 3rd-party unmanaged dll-files), I have to copy these files to the bin-folder of the C# application.

Ok, I type "build" and I get a msg "error C1010 unexpected end of file, did you forget #include "stdafx.h" " So I typed that in the file and got an ...Show All

  I have a very, very simple program that uses the Microsoft Platform SDK and SDL, basically just native executable (not .NET). It compiles and runs fine on my Windows XP Home Edition system that I'm using it develop it on. It also ran fine when I moved it over to a Windows 2000 Pro system that had no development tools of any kind installed. However, while it runs fine on every random Windows 2000 Pro system I've tried it on, it fails on the Windo ...Show All

• Dmitry Mashkov VC8 requires STL list to define operator< ?

  Hi, I have code that compiled with VC6 but doesn't on VC8. The problem seems to be that list::sort requires that an operator< be defined. None of my classes have the < operator defined. However, in VC6, the compiler would only complain if you actually used myList.sort(). VC8 seems to require that the class have the operator< even though I don't use the sort routine. Is there a compiler option to make VC8 not require that ...Show All

• j0k3r How to do Unit Test for Visual C++ unmanaged code with Visual Studio 2005?

  I got the following words in MSDN Library,  "If your production code is unmanaged, it needs to be callable from a static library, an .obj file, or a DLL entry point. Class methods that are embedded inside an executable file or a DLL will not work because unmanaged Visual C++ does not offer the runtime discovery mechanism, reflection. Therefore, only the traditional native binding mechanisms will work. " Does this mean we still cannot do uni ...Show All
