• Harold van de Kamp Mixing Templates and Generics

  I think I've raised this questions a couple of times and the first time some three years ago - and have never got a real answer. Why does the language disallow mixing templates and generics. What's wrong with: template < typename T > value struct outer {   generic < typename U > void foo(); };   or generic < typename T > ref struct outer {   template < typename U > void foo(); };   ...Show All

• Per J Making an Enum a Public Assembly member

  I have an assembly, Shared, that contains an enum named MyEnum. I want to be able to define this enum once in the Shared assembly and then use it in other assemblies by referencing the Shared assembly. Is this possible I thought enums where managed types but I used the following code with no luck because it said that "an assembly access specifier can only be applied to a managed type" so I have to remove the public keyword. namespace Shared { & ...Show All

No there is no way to do that. Recompi ...Show All

• monyplaba Migrating an existing MFC application

  I'm investigating different solutions available to migrate our existing MFC application to .Net. At this point I find out that the best way to keep the application working during the migration is using MFC 8.0. I think we should first compile our UI (MFC exe) in Visual Studio 2005, then add /clr and then use .NET class libraries and its user controls to implement new features of our application. The question I have is about the u ...Show All

• Mick H Browsing in global objects

  I need to create an application that will simulate the operation of a larger, native application for the purpose of creating a managed application that will communicate with it. Anyway, I have started a Windows Forms project and I need to add an unmanaged class to it. I could not instantiate an unmanaged class within a managed class (the compiler gave me an error) so I created a global instance. So far the problem with that is that when debuggi ...Show All

  Hi, I am a newbie in 64-bit development. What I want to do first is to create an application that can be run only on a 64-bit platform.

• CBagby Console Applications only work on computer with the IDE

  I'm using a text book to learn C++ and am writing my first programs. They compile fine and work the way I want them to, from Visual Studio or Windows Explorer. However, if I move them to another computer (with a disk), they don't work. Something about the configuration of the application. I've tried CLR console apps and Win 32 console apps (with header).

• Jamie Thomson Problems in Release Compilation

  My Visual C++ 6.0 MFC project serves as a framework that loads a variable series of MFC extension DLLs that do most of the work of the project. Although the DLLs vary widely in function and complexity, they have many common features and derive from a common base class. All of the DLLs export a configure() function. In most cases, the configuration is accomplished with a standard MFC dialog and associated class derived from CDialog. ...Show All
