• Visual C++ A few compiling questions.

  Hello, I am using visual c++ 2005 (8.0), I am wondering is it possible to open a .c or .cpp file with the IDE and build/compile it without having to create solutions/project workspaces yourself I remember in v6.0 you could just choose to build, and it would create the workspaces for you. Also I would just like to make sure I am creating unmanaged applications correctly, is it File -> New -> Project -> Win32 (from the Visual C++ section) Is that correct Are the other projects ATL/CLR/General/MFC/Smart Device used for managed applications I am sorry to ask these questions which are very basic, I took a little look at th ...Show All

• Visual Basic How does VisualBasic.CompilerServices.NewLateBinding work?

  Hi, I'm currently developing a scripting language that provides full access to the .NET Framework.

Unfortunately Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices is more or less undocumented and somehow excluded from IntelliSense... But by looking into MSIL code I managed to call the Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.NewLateBinding.Get/Set/Call et ...Show All
