• Visual C++ Directories of 64-bit targets created from 32-bit ones

  Hi, The VS 2005 feature for adding 64-bit targets by coping win32 ones is pretty neat: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9yb4317s(en-us,vs.80).aspx I've noticed though, that when doing this with projects converted from VC++ 6, in some places the new target uses the same build directory as the target copied, so that, for example the amd64 and the win32 versions can't be built at the same time. I've put an example below. The x64 part doe ...Show All

• .NET Development Servers, Pages and their controls and HTTPWebRequest.

  Recently I was asked how to push button on a web page control programmatically and I realized I didn’t know. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been playing with HTTPWebRequest and getting the samples to work. That’s a wonderful class and it looks as if it exposes every possible thing that could be exposed, but I realized after all the code that I still don’t know how the pieces fit together.   I have a single XP node and I’ve set up ...Show All

I may not be using it correctly though. It looks like I won't be able to get this information at the type level and will have to analyze the methods of the im ...Show All
