• Krishnaswin may some master-hand help on this issue?

  i'm a newcomer to WIN32 and had trouble while having a Windowproc as menber of my own class. here is the code: //Window.h I'm guessing that the problem is (or is similar to) passing a pointer to the Window::MainWindowProc function to CreateWindow.  CreateWindow needs to take a stdcall-style callback.  CALLBACK is half of it, since it decorates the function as __stdcall (as opposed to __cdecl or a C++ member function).&n ...Show All

• sugavaru command line build up-to-date when it shouldn't be

  I have a problem where a command line build of a *.vcproj file using the VCBuild task returns "BaseLib - up-to-date" when it really is not. BaseLib.vcproj produces the output library BaseLib.lib, and one of the *.cpp files in the project includes BaseLib.h. BaseLib.h has a last modified date of 5/30/2006, and BaseLib.lib has a modification date of 5/16/2006. The project is out-of-date right BaseLib.h *is* explicitly in the project. ...Show All

• Ben Miller MSFT Corrupt Builds After Cancel

  Our team has a ~50 project solution with a few dlls, lots of libs, and three executables. If I do a build solution, and at any point during the build hit Control-C to cancel it, whatever is being built at the time I hit the button is now corrupt. It looks like it leaves the partially created .obj, .exe, or .dll around and doesn't detect that it only got halfway through. Is this a common symptom Is there some known fix (MSDN and google searches ...Show All

  As a harware developement project, we have many outside lib which is compiled in old way, and now can't be linked with new studio 2005.
