• Otis Mukinfus VC 6.0 Debug-Additional DLLs: equivalent in VC 2005?

  In VC 6, under project settings, Debug, there exists a section under Category: Additional DLLs.  This is where you specify additional DLL symbols to be loaded before the process is debugged.  When debugging an EXE without symbols, such as REGSVR32.EXE, i.e. open the EXE up as a solution, and then start debugging, I need to specify additional DLLs such as the DLL that I'm trying to register, so I can debug a registration problem.  ...Show All

• GaryGary vc++8.0 bug: access violation upon call of any CImageList methods

  I have sucessfully imported and compiled a complex MFC 6.0 project from vc++6.0  into vc++ 8.0 (MFC 8.0). It contains several subprojects (libs and dlls).

• AravindManohar Getting rid of the need for .manifests?

  Background: We are attempting to build a DLL with VC8 to be used by applications that were built with VC6 and linked against a VC6 version of the DLL. Problem: In order to get the application to start, we have to copy the .manifest generated by building the DLL and rename it app .exe.manifest (in the same directory as app ). This is going to be a headache for our customers. Is there any way to not require the .manifest ...Show All

• kevingpo setting compiler options programmatically.
