• Visual C++ How to spawn a thread from the main one?

  Dear all, I am new to Visual C++ and I would like to get supports on how to write a multithreading application. In fact I came from UNIX/Linux background and I am trying to write a network application using winsock2.

The moment the winsock API function (recv or recvfrom) receives data and fill the receiveing buffer "Array", another thread will immediately be spawned to process the received data of the buffer, while the main function thread will continue to listen to new coming data, again, once data have been ...Show All

  Hi, I've a windows form control that I created using C# .Net 2005. It is a visible control (appears on the windows form) but does not have to be visible. How can our legacy VB6 or C/C++ 6 code call the control. The control has 4 fields (2 of string type, one of int type and one of bool type) and 1 method that takes no parameters and returns an int. We need to support the legacy code even though future releases will use the .NET framework. Thanks, - Neil ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Assembly.GetEntryAssembly() Returns Nothing when running from a Unit Test

  When trying to access the Entry Assembly from a Unit Test it returns nothing. I am using " Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location" This is causing a problem since it works in our application but not from unit testing. I see other posts when I am googling it, but no answers. Why could this be happening Is this a bug Also AppDomain.CurrentDomain.DomainManager returns nothing. I am guessing this is part of the problem. Is it because the unit testing framework is doing something different than a application Any help will be greatly appreciated. Cory I don't mean to sound annoying - ...Show All
