• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: Infinite Descent?

  I already sent this to Matt Warren personally but also posted here: ... I’m on the verge of insanity here. I can’t really explain how I got into this situation. I was well on the way to making a kick-*** application, then I needed to go back to the database and abstract out some image fields into another table so I could get lazy-load so I didn’t lock up the app UI over a VPN link to a database.

• Visual C++ ComboBox AddString()

  I used the vc++ resource manager to create a combo box on the program's main form. I would like to use AddString() at run time to fill the combo box with a list of valid selections. But, the AddString() function requires a (CComboBox*).
