• Visual C++ implementaion of unwinding

  I have troubles finding information on this subject, so I'll try to ask here: What kind of unwinding mechanism implementation is used by VC8.0 Is it the same old and slow 'update structure on the stack while we go' (like it was up to VC7.1) Or MS finally decides to go after GCC & others by separating successfull execution path on compile stage (which is significantly more efficient) Bye.

• Windows Forms BackgroundWorker keeps changing my code!

  I think I'm going crazy... I have a VB project with several forms that use BackgroundWorkers.  The code works fine.  However, from time-to-time, VS B2 decides to change the code in my DoWork event handlers.  It deletes ALL of my DoWork code (leaves the Private Sub and End Sub lines) and replaces it with: 'This method will run on a thread other than the UI thread. 'Be sure not to manipulate any Windows Forms controls ...Show All

I tried to build a .resource file using ResourceWriter and embed it in the exe in the post-build, using al.exe /embed or csc.exe /res. However, this replaces the w ...Show All
