• Visual C++ com/atl attributes broken

  It seems most of the ATL/COM attributes from 2003 -> 2005 have been broken. Im using the RTM. I just compiled a COM/ATL project which works fine in 2k3 but in 2k5 i get lots of errors with attributes. A classic is: [ uuid("xxx-blah-xxx") ] class myForwardDeclaredClass; That no longer works. I find I have to do: class __declspec(uuid("xxx-blah-xxx")) myForwardDeclaredClass; There is no documentation or acknowledgement of this problem anywhere. I wonder if anyone at MS actually tried compiling any COM/ATL projects in 2k5 before it shipped Quite simply, unless breaking changes are documented then a project in 2k3 should compile in 2k5.

• Visual C# Forcing VS2K5 not to use partial classes (reverting to 2K3 behavior)

  In VS 2K3 for a new c# windows project, the IDE created a Form1 and the .cs file for it. Everything was on one page. Now, in VS 2K5, the IDE splits a new c# windows project into 3 files: Form1.Designer.cs, Program.cs, & Form1.cs. For simple windows projects, is there any way of reverting back to one page The only way I know how to do this is to cut & paste the code and set it up in one file the way it was done in VS2K3. hi there, The very fact that VS2005 uses the concept of partial classes is to support classes which are spread across files. I personally think that you should take advantage of t ...Show All

• Visual Basic .NET Deployment with COM DLLs

  I am using SQLDMO.DLL within my program which makes me include it in my deployment project. I built the deployment project and installed the output MSI and it works. It registers the SQLDMO.DLL (used COMSelfReg) when I install the package and unregisters the said DLL when I uninstall it. But I have a problem when I install and then uninstall this package on a machine with SQL Client Tools installed. The package uninstalls the program and unregisters SQLDMO.DLL which breaks Enterprise Manager, Query Analyzer, etc. How can I install and register a COM DLL using a deployment project, but will not unregister the DLL if it is shared by other appl ...Show All
