    - Compiler directive to allow use of deprecated items? There's nothing preventing you from using deprecated items, granted that they are still available in header files and libraries. Do you wish to remove the warnings as well Tag: Visual C++ General Makefile project linking broken in Visual Studio 2005? Visual C++

    - Printing strings of TCHAR[] into a file I found out that if you cast each character in the TCHAR array into a char then copy it into a newly declared char array with allocated size then it successfully converts a DBCS to a SBCS.

    - Is it just me? Deleting handlers and functions w/VC2005 impossible Unfortunately, due to the IDE unification (C#, VB and C++ all use the same core IDE), some handy C++ specific IDE features got lost in the 2003/2005 releases. Your best option would be to purchase a 3rd party IDE enhancement product like Whole Tomato's Visual Assist - which should bring back a lot of sanity to the VC++ programming environment. The next release (Orcas) has quite a few improvements for C++ - but that's still an year away. But it's a good thought to have for now :-) Tag: Visual C++ General Makefile project linking broken in Visual Studio 2005? Visual C++

    - Exception from Invoke method Use a debugger to see what's going on. The first step would be to identify where exactly the exception happens. That may be less than trivial in the C++ managed debugger. However, the _full_ callstack should give you an indication of what's going on. Taking a look at the callstack of the exception would help. You can either catch the exception in code and take a look at the stacktrace or use the managed (non-C++) debugger and take a look the pseudo register for the current exception ($exception IIRC). -hg Tag: Visual C++ General Makefile project linking broken in Visual Studio 2005?

    - Static and dyanamic linking You need to select the DLL(Win32 DLL, MFC DLL) project type in VC++ -> new project wizard. Dynamic linking is, the connection of the symbol (such as a function or variable) with it's user (the code which uses it Or want to use it) is made dynamically, like at run time (when the code starts executing). Static linking is done at compilation time itself, the symbol is resolved (found) and linked to it's user while creating the output file. Many people confuse the Static/dynamic linking to the way DLLs are used, DLLs can be used 2 ways, one is to add the dependancy on DLL being used, project uses .lib file to find the symbols exported in the DLL and links them to the user module via import table. This makes a hard connection between the DLL and the user, if the DLL is not present then the user can not be loaded/executed. Another way is to load the DLL programatically (using LoadLibrary, GetProcAddress etc.) and resolve the symbols when the code is run.

    - CHttpFile::SendRequest() hangs Hi all, I am using CInternetSession, CHttpConnection and CHttpFile classes to fetch the asp page. The code seems to run fine for the first time, but it hangs on the second call. here is the code i wrote:- Internet session is initialized in the constructor:- m_pSession = new CInternetSession("CHttpHelper"); CHttpConnection* pServer = NULL; CHttpFile* pFile = NULL; CString server; CString object; INTERNET_PORT port; DWORD a; DWORD dwRet; DWORD dwHttpRequestFlags =INTERNET_FLAG_DONT_CACHE; CString Page; char Buffer[512]; AfxParseURL(url, a, server, object, port); pServer = m_pSession->GetHttpConnection(server, port); pFile = pServer->OpenRequest( CHttpConnection::HTTP_VERB_GET, object, NULL, 1, NULL, NULL, dwHttpRequestFlags); if (pFile != NULL) { pFile->SendRequest(); pFile->QueryInfoStatusCode(dwRet); if (dwRet == HTTP_STATUS_OK) { int nCount = 1; while (nCount > 0) { // Read the Page in a String nCount = pFile->Read(Buffer, 511); if (nCount > 0) { Buffer[nCount] = 0; Page += Buffer; } } } } if (pFile != NULL) { pFile->Close(); delete (pFile); pFile=NULL; } if (pServer != NULL) { pServer->Close(); delete (pServer); pServer=NULL; } Thanks in advance. Note:- 1. The code runs fine when i add an AfxMessageBox("Run"); before pFile->SendRequest(). 2. It works fine with local asp page.

    - check for process availability using process-id If no other solutions, you could try the following approach: Code Snippet if( ::WaitForSingleObject((HANDLE)pid, 100) == WAIT_TIMEOUT) { // the process is still running during 0.1 sec. . . . } or Code Snippet if( ::WaitForSingleObject((HANDLE)pid, 0) == WAIT_TIMEOUT) { // the process is still running right now. . . . } I hope this helps.

    - Obtaining a memory address of a variable returned by a class member function I think you do not need pointers here. You can use HTREEITEM directly. For example: HTREEITEM selected_item = pCtrl->GetSelectedItem(); (The error is caused by the fact that the return value is in a temporary location (register) which cannot be addressed by pointers. Compare with this error: int * p = &strlen("abc"); ) I hope this makes sense. Tag: Visual C++ General Makefile project linking broken in Visual Studio 2005? Visual C++

    - whats problem with this code? msvs2005 Are you talking about memcpy or memset ZeroMemory is a macro that leads to memset so its no wonder what this code needs memset. In addition enabling inrinsic functions is only a hint to the compiler to use them, the compiler may chose to not use intrinsics. You have 2 options: Provide your own memset function. I got a 8 kb exe using a basic memset. Don't use NODEFAULTLIB but link to the static version of CRT. This allows the compiler to use the memset from CRT and since you don' use the entrypoint from CRT the rest of the CRT will not be linked in. I got a 13.5 kb exe which is still quite small.

    - Deployment and DLLs Truthfully, the only way to find out is to run it on a non development machine. In general though, you will have to distribute the CRT with your application for definite, but if you have linked against third party libraries then you will have to distribute them too, otherwise you don't really need to distribute anything else.

    - question about backups and .ncb files Correct. NCB files are built on demand, by the C++ language service (the component that provides intellisense support, and populates the classview toolwindow). It's usually best to not include the .NCB files in your backups, or in your source code control system, because these files can sometimes be dependent upon how a particular machine was set up. (version of the SDK headers can impact what is built into these). While it might take a bit of time to regenerate the .NCB for larger projects, the C++ language service will do so on a background thread, and shouldn't be too noticible, unless your waiting for the classview to get populated for some reason.

    - Problem with NULL in visualstudio 2005 You really need to provide some context for this code, but the problem is that you need to set the iterator to another iterator value. NULL just means 0, and it works when you set a pointer to it because the pointer simply gets told to point to 0 (which of course isn't an accessible memory address). When you try to assign something to data it tries to assign a vector<int>::iterator, not a number. What you should do to initialise an iterator as NULL is use the default constructor, so.. static vector<int>::iterator data(); Tag: Visual C++ General Makefile project linking broken in Visual Studio 2005?

    - Reg 64-bit support You really should upgrade, and not only because of the x64 support. VC2 is horribly outdated, including the standard libraries, language support and so forth. A great deal of bugs have also been fixed throughout the last decade (or one and a half decade), so anything prior to (and in my eyes including) VC6 should be scrapped unless you need to do 16bit development. And no, you will not be able to compile x64 code with the 2.0 compiler. You will however be able to run x86 code on x64 architecture, so if all you need is executable compatibility -- there's no need to upgrade.

    - Draw to screen without using OnPaint() Because OnPaint() Method is responsible for Updating your Screen .and when you call Render() Function inside OnPaint() that time it Work but when ever you Call this outside your OnPaint() it Will Not Invoke because OnPaint() invoke only at the time when your screen paint itself or refresh it. So if your want that Again OnPaint Will Come in Picture Simply call InvalidateRect() .which will make a call to your OnPaint Internally and again your are able to see your drawing stuff on your Screen.Second thing there is no need to call Render Function inside your OnPaint() Simply call it anywhere in your Program and to update your Screen call InvalidateRect() or RedrawWindow() Function etc. Thanx Tag: Visual C++ General Makefile project linking broken in Visual Studio 2005?

In Visual Studio 2003 and earlier, you could make Visual Studio projects link against the output of a makefile project by setting the Output line.

In VS2005 this seems to be broken. Is there something you have to do to get this to work

One of the projects I have run into has a work around for this issue by making a separate library project with no files in it, that depends on the makefile project. To get the output of the makefile project to link in, it adds the output of the makefile project to the "Additional Dependencies" line in the separate empty library project. Any upstream libraries then need to depend on the empty library project instead of the makefile project. But this means you have to author 2 project files for every external library.

Is there a better way to do this in VS2005
