• 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

• Visual Basic Module not maintaining form initialized

  I am having troubles with an application I've developed on a specific server.  I believe the primary problem is the server itself and have yet to see the application fail on any other server.  It's running on a Windows 2000 Server, .NET Framework 1.1.  We've tried reinstalling the framework 3 times with no success and I would like to see if anyone else has run into this problem.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is Visual Basic 2005 Express interpreted or compiled?

  I have looked through a lot of literature, but it seems difficult to find a clear answer to this question. I can see that VB generates P-code, which is interpreted and therefore executes much slower than compiled languages, but some literature indicate that it may be possible to compile the P-code and generate a fast executing program. C is a terrible language so I am looking for a good, strong alternative, but in practice it seems that th ...Show All
