• Visual Studio Force a target to rebuild?

  I have a target that I would like to run twice during my build.  Once, before I do any work, I want to clean up some files in a directory.  Then, later on in the build, after I've created some files, I want to do the same cleanup on the same directory using the exact same algorithm.  Is there a way to call my target again and force it to run The only thing I could think of doing was using the Exec task to run MSBuild.  CallTarget and MSBuild both remember what targets have already run, so that won't work. Dependency checking is awesome...except when you don't want it. Many thanks,    Taylor ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can Visual Studio 2005 express be used to create Win32 applications or for future .net versions?

  Hi, two questions: * Can visual studio 2005 express (as in like VB and C++) be used to create Win32 applications If not, why and which program (or which SDK do I need) should I use to develop for Win32. That is, for an audience without having .NET installed. *Lastly, I read in the faqs that Visual Studio 2005 can ONLY be used to develop applications for .NET 2, well then, what about .net 3 when that comes out or for that matter, even for .NET 1.1  If not, why. If it can only be used to develop apps for .NET 2, well, when .NET 3 comes out wouldn't VStudio 2005 be 'obsolete' That sounds like a bad investment of money for me if thats the c ...Show All

• Visual C++ Having several Heaps

  This is a little advanced question and didn't know where to post it. I'm doing windows system programming. We can create several Heaps for the same Process. My question is, how can I copy and duplicate a Heap and create an exact copy of it in a different Heap. Both Heaps will be in the same Process of course. Perhaps you could use HeapWalk and CopyMemory SamDav wrote: This is a little advanced question and didn't know where to post it. I'm doing windows system programming.

• Visual C++ Implementation for _aligned_malloc?

  Hi. I'd like to see the implementation for _aligned_malloc, in order to make a version with further capabilities. This function is part of MS C stdlib. Hmm, it just occurred to me that Microsoft's implementation of stdlib may be secret. Is that why I can't find stdlib's source Thanks from a new arrival from the PPC/CodeWarrior world... Try stepping into the method or actually preprocess the file containing a call to it. If the implementation is there, you should see it in the preprocessed version of the file. Thanks, Ayman Shoukry VC++ Team ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista how to get output pin from mpeg4 stream (simple profile) located in reserved area memory (RAM) ?

  Hi ! I try to do preview of mpeg4 stream (simple profile) which I get to reserved area memory (RAM). I`d like to decode this stream by divx filter so I must get a output pin from this stream in order to connect my stream with divx filter.

• Windows Forms Overriding CreateParams in derived Form

  I'm making a class derived from the Windows::Forms::Form class, and need to override the CreateParams property so that it's a layered window when its instanced. I've found a million examples of this in C#, but none in C++. I've tried old syntax, new syntax, and I always end up with a string of errors starting with "Windows::Forms::CreateParams is not a class, union, or struct" and then an endless list of syntax errors. I'd post a code snippet, but I've tried so many variations with the same result, I wouldn't know which to post. Can someone post an example of the proper syntax for this in Visual Studio 2005 usi ...Show All
