• Bond007 64bit manifest problem / side by side issue

  Hi all, I have a 64bit app that refuses to start, it complains about common controls supposedly amiss (in the event log. the error message popping up when starting the app is something completely useless, of course. "...aplication configuration is incorrect...."). It's built from the same source tree than the corresponding 32bit app, which uses some common controls functionality, however, it used to work and now it suddenly doesn't any more. Any ...Show All

• zhaoqiang Calling Managed Code from Unmanaged Code ?????

  I found this great example on this issue: http://www.codeproject.com/managedcpp/unmanaged_to_managed.asp unfortunatelly , it only works on v.s.net 2003 , and in order to compile it in v.s.net 2005 with the /clr option, you have to make a lot of changes in the code like replacing _gc with ref and alot of other things.

  I'm looking to build an application using C++ in Visual Studio 2005 and I see that I have several options for project types. I'm looking to build a forms application and my choices seem to be CLR, ATL, MFC, or Win32. It's nice to have choices and all, but what's the difference My main criteria is that I do not want to require users to have the .NET framework. Beyond that I would prefer that the program runs as a single executable without ...Show All

• Alex How to get the size of a double char pointer?

  Basically, I want to get the size of a double char pointer, EG char **x; Not the elements of the individual arrays, but the actual number of elements inside the pointer. I don't want to use vectors or Strings either, I know how to do it that way, but it looks ugly. So if I could get some feedback on this, it would be appreciated. :-) You're right. Something like: int xsize = 20; char** x = malloc(xsize ...Show All

• Neil M Thompson On adjacent ">"s in a parameterized declaration

  Hello, There is a syntax erron in the following code -- adjacent ">"s need a delimiter (it is marked AAAA) template <class T> class A {}; template <class T> class B {}; int main() { A<B<int>>(); // AAAA } But VC8 can compile it. It seems to be a error but on the other hand Mr. Stroustrup have being dreaming on such a syntax for ages and he promotes it pretty vigorously now, as far as know. So, I a ...Show All

• _phil 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
