  Hi, I've created a service in VC++ (unmanaged code) on Visual Studio 2005. Everything works fine. But I still have a problem to stop my service.

• johannal Problem seeing my window

  I just got Visual Studio 2005 and I tried to make a program using Win32. The program is just displaying a window. When I compile the code I get no errors at all, but nothing happens after that.

• AceWeb very dissappointed with visual c++ 2005

  I was astonished on how c++ gained so much added bulk... PLZ... VC++ 2005 is anything but iso C++ compatible... "99.9% iso c++ compatible"... it has like 30 extra keywords that shouldn't be there in the first place...  Looks like I will have to go with either c# or start getting to be friends with an old pal called GCC. This is just a feature request.   TOMDX wrote: I was astonished on how c++ g ...Show All
