• Olle SW Has casting to int from double changed completely in VS2005?

  Has casting to int from double changed completely in VS2005 Numbers that are too big are always -1 now. Which has caused me much pain to track down and is not compatible with code we currently use. Here is an example, it used to be that if you cast a big number to an int, you would some value that was related to it in some way: (int)1.0957837e+011 => -2090779696 But now it is always -1 if the value is out of the range of the int: (int)1. ...Show All

• netalexx How to use function AfxCheckMemory()

  Hi, A few days ago I posted a message about problems with my c++ project: it gave different results depending on the location from which it was run.

According to the help index of c++ (version .NET 2003), I can use AfxCheckMemory() to check the code for memory overwriting during runtime. When typing this text in the code, it is indeed re ...Show All

  I have a standard 3-tier system programed by VC++, in which there is a Application Server running as Windows Service, and Windows-based desktop application as clients. Client application interfaces with the server via DCOM (App Server runs in a server machine and clients run in Windows 2000/XP desktops).

After that I got this error message: Error 1 Command line error D8016 : '/clr:pure' and '/Gz' command-line options are ...Show All

• kalpa How do I set an initial dock bar state?

  I have a MFC application that uses docking control bars. It looks great once you postion all the bars and use the SaveBarState() and LoadBarState() functions.

My question is thus; Is there a way to control the default control bar docking such that I can program in a reasonable default state that can the ...Show All
