• Visual C++ MFC application crashes when running standalone

  Hi all, I'm currently working on an old MFC (made with VS2003) application to run in Visual Studio 2005/Windows XP. After a while most of the code compiled like a charm and the application works when beeing started from inside the IDE. Then i had really strange problems when trying to execute the program standalone (i.e. like copying it to c:\program files\program\name.exe and executing it there directly).

The applications still crashes on some actions (I debugged t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System how to read command line arguments inside webtest generated code

  Hi,   I'm a newbie user of webtests. I'd like to find out how to read command line arguments inside my webtest generated code.
