• Uindex A problem with ATL::CTime.GetLocalTm()

  I have a projiect in vs2003.net,which use ATL::CTime.GetLocalTm()function with default parameter. But in vs2005 the function was defined without any default parameter. And the MSDN tells that we can use it with a NULL paramenter,so I do this.But there comes a breaking when I debug the project after I building it. Then I step into the ATL source code to see the definition of GetLocalTm,and I found that there is a macro definition o ...Show All

• Pete Newman XML reader for native C++

  Hi! I'm looking for a small C++ XML SAX reader, similar to XmlTextReader in .NET. The most important thing is that the library is small can be statically linked. Can anybody recommend me anything Thanks in advance! As far as I know, if I link my app against version 2.x of MSXML it will require the very same version to be installed on the machine. So my question actually is, whether the old MSXML 2.x is still shipped with newer systems. ...Show All

  I have a COM DLL that relies on MSVCR80.dll and when I try to register it with regsvr32.exe I get a "loadlibrary failed -2147220473" error.  If I create a regsvr32.exe.manifest file and place it with regsvr32.exe, then it works.  There has to be a better solution though.  I can't count on target PCs having regsvr32.exe.manifest installed (and I'd rather not install it if possible). but this does ...Show All
