• Visual C++ I'm going to fall for the test

  I need to write to a text file that has Unix linefeeds, but my Std C++-based console app is writing Dos linefeeds.  For example, If I do something like: std::ofstream test( "test.txt" ); test << "Hello\nWorld" ; test.close(); The resulting file has \r\n in it (0x0d 0x0a when viewed with binary editor). The same thing occurs when I do fopen( "test.txt", "w") followed by fwrite, which sets the mode to text (the default).&nb ...Show All

  Such an embarrasing question, but i've been working in ASP.NET for so long that i've lost grasp with Forms design architecture. I'm designing an application using WinForms 2.0. The screen for the application will keep the same structure throught the App. For example, a user will create a new customer. Then he might want to create a new employee, so will click the "employee" button. This won't fire up a new employee form, but will display the emp ...Show All

• Visual Studio Why is interacting with Visual Studio so clumsy?

  I recently downloaded the VS2005 SDK (formerly VSIP), and I was extremely disappointed by the whole thing. Why is it so difficult to build an add-in Why do I have to know about the different interfaces, and why can't I access strongly-typed property classes You guys should really take a look at Jamie Cansdale's ManagedAddin framework. It's so easy to use. You specify the menu navigation commands in a hierarchial XML format. You create stand-alo ...Show All
