• Steve Jensen Can you use the Base Class Library from unmanaged code?

  Can you use the .NET Framework Base Class Library from unmanaged C++ I would like to know because then I can do Windows Forms in asm to have a laugh about. It will be very ugly, like COM in asm (urgh), but I don't care: it is just a bit of fun for me. Thanks Well yes you can and doing this does enable you access to the .NET FX from native C++ but by far and away the easiest way to implement a Windows Form is to ...Show All

• Jae Suggestion/Functionality - Office Workbook/Worksheet to have similar operations as other components.

  Geoff Darst of the VSTO team suggested that I post this suggestion here: When clearing is required on other controls such as textboxes, one can simply call clear to clear the whole box. There is a similiarity found on other controls or even class components where the ability to clear the whole item is acheivable without defining specifics of what to clear . That similiarity ends with the classes that handle the operations found with dealing with ...Show All

  I'm using the VS2005 Release candidate and I need to access the configuration settings in the .Net main application (C#) from a .Net class library written in C++.

Any ideas Thanks Mark Take a look at this post: http ...Show All

• HonzaHornik Question About Headers

  I want to use VSC++ for programming C. I know C isn't fully support cause the lack of MS deciding not to add the c99 which i believe is stupid.

And change the compiler cause i don't wanna think i spent so much money for this and I can't use it. Cause of this problem. ...Show All

  Visual Studio .NET 2003 & MFC. I want to receive HDN_ENDTRACK header notifications in my CListCtrl-derived object. So far, I have not had any luck. I've read some threads on the Internet that suggest that it's not so straight-forward. Note, the other header notification that I am catching (HDN_ENDDRAG and HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICK) seem to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I should probably expand on my previous post that I've use ...Show All
