I checked all the project settings between a new project and my vc6 converted one, and have also pasted in the special #pragma's at the bottom of StdAfx.h. Anything ...Show All

• booga_boy Why aren't property sheets solution level items?

  It seems that a typical use of property sheets would be to collect settings shared among projects in a solution, but to create a property sheet I must add it to a project. Wouldn't it make a lot more sense if it were associated with the solution rather than some (arbitrarily chosen or dummy) project Please log your suggestion at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/default.aspx where the owners could ...Show All

• God_Mark Modifying intrinsic property sheet inclusion

  Intrinsic property sheets like "Optimize for speed" seem to be added to all projects. It's strange seeing that under a debug configuration. How do I remove sheets such as that one when they're not what I want Thanks, Gary The Optimize for speed sheet is also added to configurations of the Makefile type. It is definitely irrelevant there. Ok, will do. In the meantim ...Show All

• Hong_Zhang75252 __onexitbegin invalid during static initialization

  I've got another tricky static initialization problem.  I'm porting a large MFC app from Visual Studio 2002 to VS 2005 RC1. The app is crashing at runtime when we attempt to statically construct an STL container object.  The crash happens when the runtime asserts on __CrtIsValidHeapPointer. Stepping through the assembly, I see that the object is constructed OK (constructor just sets an implementation pointer to NULL), and the runtime ...Show All
