  I am use visual c++ about 3 years. I found MFC is hard to learn. I want to return to pure c++. Is anybody likes as me Yes, I feel the same as the original poster. I wonder if it ever occured to Microsoft that most of us have to develop projects to make a living and don't have the time anymore to invest months into studying new languages, new frameworks and new paradigms In our company we made the decision to continue using C++ and MFC. Frankly we're just using MSVC 8 in order to have easy access to native 64 bit compilation. Other than that, you could take all C# and .Net and whatnot and trash it. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Managed package using managed resources

  Hi, I am trying to use managed resources instead of unmanaged for my managed package.  I got my cto file, and I have added it to the managed resources manually under the name CTMENU as described by the vsip doc.  I've set UseManagedResourcesOnly to true, and I've run devenv /setup after registration.  However, the menu items do not show up at run-time.  The same cto file would work if it's in a satellite dll and have UseManagedResourcesOnly set to false.  Is there anything that I am missing I have read the post http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=14892 and basically doing what Ed dore is sugge ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Best way to learn VBA for Excel

  Can someone recommend books, websites or any other sources to learn VBA for Excel and Outlook. I am using the help function but surely there must be a more structured way to learn this language. Thanks, Antonio The MSDN library has some good articles on developing with Office. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/odc_2003_ta/html/odc_ancoffsol.asp frame=true There are some sample chapters there. It's an excellent place to start. Also do a search for free ebooks in MSDN as there was a online book about Office 2003 VBA there a little while ago. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Using the same structure in multiple objects

  I have the same structure of data (customer name, location, status, etc.) that I want to use in multiple objects within an application (one to read the data from a file, one to display it, one to create a new or updated version, and one to save it), and I'm not sure what's the "correct" way from an object oriented point of view of how to define the same structure across all of the objects. Currently, I've got the structure defined in the MainForm class, and then I define the input variable in the input object by doing: Dim InputDataStructure As MainForm.DataStructure = New MainForm.DataStructure and in the output ...Show All

• Visual C# .net

  hi, I was wondering why C# converts its code to .net (byte-code) is there no option to convert to machine-language (like C++), it probably would make it the nr 1 language if it could. Also why isn't the .net language included in standard windows, so there is no conversion needed. this could give it a real boost, not (could be an advantage against java, because what is the advantage now against java) tnx I found ngen.exe in .NET FW 2.0, this ngen can link dependent libraries dll and regenerate it also with .exe, but it regenerated .exe (which i found in windows/assembly/NativeImages1_v1.1.4322\my_prog) doesn`t ...Show All

• SQL Server Using Select In Push Command

  Hi All, Does anyone know if you can add columns to a local pulled table and if so can you use a select command to push the table back and exclude the added columns. Basically I need to know if a record has been added on the PDA so I can get an ID from the server before pushing it back. I cannot alter the sql server database because it is part another application. Cheers, Jiggy! In SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition, RDA subscribed tables (Pull with Tracking ON) are locked for DDL Changes. Hence, you can not add a column to RDA subscribed tables. In case, you are trying all of this for Identity colum ...Show All
