• Sabroni Tracking memory fragmentation

  Hi there, We have a Windows RPC server that we've noticed has been having its private bytes creep up slowly over time. I've used several leak-tracking tools, and none reports a leak at all. One, however, seems to show the number of pages allocated to the heap growing considerably. So, my thought is that we have a fragmentation issue; the server allocates memory dynamically in some places (of varying sizes), and we're trying to remo ...Show All

• Mike Price general question regarding arrays and functions

• jph2667 Poor Program Design?

  Hi Griffonbait! My experience with Borland C++ Builder is that BCB puts a declaration in the form's header file and opens up the coding window in the .cpp file ready for coding. My understanding of programming, and the way I have taught it, is that the header file is primarily for declarations not for a project's ("solution" as VC++ calls it) code. 1. Headers files are not needed for OOP-Design 2. The ...Show All

• Jean-Jean Set VC++ Directories in Options dialog (Visual C++ Express)

  Details :  The VC++ Directories page on the Options dialog does not have a list box for viewing and modifying the directories used during a build. Consequently, it is not possible to modify the build directories using the IDE UI.

• rainboy First painful steps with VC++ Express 2005 Beta 2 and DirectX9

  Hi! I am currently making my first experiences with .NET programming and the Beta 2. My first questsion is simple: Is there any way to rename the default "Form1" class/files (which are created when generating a new Forms project) in an easy way I solved the problem by searching for all occurences of "Form1" through the whole solution and replacing them by e.g. "MainWindow". This seems very complicated. My second question is more complex. I tr ...Show All
