• SirN Remove or corrrect bugs, remove faulse instruction installations !

  WOW, I can't believe this information isn't easier to find.  I downloaded and installed Visual C++ 2005 Express, and then downloaded and installed the Platform SDK SP2.  NOTHING WORKS!  The Directories are not found and there is no apparent way to set them.  Apparently users have found a hack to make it work, but this is crazy.  It seems like the first Microsoft person to install this would notice that it doesn't work an ...Show All

• RobertaK VC++ 2005 built times extremly long

  Hello together, i finished migrating one bigger project (400000 lines) to 2005. Compile times are extremly long about 3-4 times than with 2003. Also Intellisense needs to be switched of else the UI is just going around and playing all time with itself leaving the user watching the animation of the class browser flickering and the speed bar. Also the UI crashes often. Also sometimes the compiler or linker ends in nirvana, the UI do ...Show All

• Jon Shemitz CString assignment operator causes memory exception

  I compiled VC++ 6.0 code with VC++.NET 2003/2005 beta and both causes a memory exception with CString assignment. My code looks like the following: CString szFileName = g_pGlobal->m_szAppPath; where g_pGlobal is a pointer to an object with global scope. The crash occurs if the assignment is done outside of the object instance itself. Quick Watch shows all CString members of that object are Bad Ptrs! I don't get it. ...Show All

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

  Is this bug going to be fixed anytime soon Using VC++ Express 2005 v8.0.50215.44 (beta2.050215-4400) and .NET Framework v2.0.50215 on a Win2K SP4 test box. I've tried the solutions from both Boris and Chaos to workaround the problem and neither appear to work. I've been charged with evaluating VC++ for our enterprise, ( I'm principally a gcc user), and a rudimentary bug like this ought to get squashed pretty quick IMO. [EDIT] OOPS! Sorry ...Show All

  I want to use namespace System.Xml in my Visual c++6.0 program,please tell me how . Thanks a lot . su wrote: I want to use namespace System.Xml in my Visual c++6.0 program,please tell me how. You cannot directly use System.Xml in Visual C++ 6.0. However, what you can do is create a .NET dll which can access System.Xml (this means you have to write it in C#). You can then have it expose its functionality through COM. ...Show All

  Why is it that when a class inherits a non virtual base class, space for the base class members is at the beginning of the derived class object whereas, when the base class is virtual, then, within the derived class, the base class members are copied after the derived class members. Thanks, KarthikR Liu, Thanks for the response. I guess my question is, how is the base class internally represented within the derived clas ...Show All
