    - Tooltips disappeared after switch from VC 6 to VC 8 due to breaking change in CWnd::OnToolHitTest() Hello Andrey, currently and in the near future we are only targeting the 32-bit platform. Anyway, thank you for providing the interesting link, even though it does not answer my question. Regards, Matthias Tag: Visual C++ General MVP Visual C++

    - Need Info -- Can standard C Critical Error Handler still be installed? Hi Matt, the problem is that after an exception you cannot easily know if continuing will be safe and successful. If somewhere someone caused an access violation then something in the process heap might already be in an invalid state so that further processing will fail also. Another problems are resources held by the code causing the exception. Code which would have run after the point of the exception might have done some clean up, e.g. releasing sync objects. So you might easily run into deadlocks. Trying to log the error and restart the process might be a saver approach. -- SvenC Tag: Visual C++ General MVP Visual C++

    - WinSock and Ping in VC++ Hello friends, I have a server at an IP. Fromcommand prompt I can ping to that IP thru port number and submit a command to the server. In return server give me some results. What should I do to create a windows application program using sockets in VC++. The input for the end user should only be the command, say 'Give result'. The result should be printed in order in a new Form. Hoping valuable results from my friends, regards, ANSAF Tag: Visual C++ General MVP Visual C++

    - Cannot properly return unsigned char*... If you *need* to return the char pointer, you will have to do three changes to your code The return type of StringToBytes has to be const unsigned char*. The internal char buffer of the string class must not be touched. StringToBytes must take a reference to a string, not a copy of a string, as its parameter. If you pass by value (which means a copy string is created when the function call begins, and destroyed when the call returns), the pointer returned from the function will no longer point to meaningful data. The string passed to StringToBytes must exist for as long as the char pointer returned is used. Once this string has been removed, the pointer will no longer (as above) point to meaningful data. An example: const unsigned char* StringToBytes(string& s) { cout << (unsigned char*) s.c_str() //Correctly prints "yabansu" return (unsigned char*) s.c_str(); } string s = "...."; const unsigned char* c = StringToBytes(s); As I'm sure you can see, this is not a very robust approach. You would be far better off returning a string, or even better a vector of unsigned char's, such as: vector<unsigned char> StringToBytes(string& s) { cout << (unsigned char*) s.c_str() //Correctly prints "yabansu" return vector<unsigned char>(s.begin(), s.end()); } string s = "...."; vector<unsigned char> v = StringToBytes(s); The morale of the story: don't use native pointers if the STL has something better to offer.

    - XSLTemplate Hi guys, I have an XSL which uses the following: < xsl:import href="../lib/ads.xsl" /> and in my XSL i'm using a "Names Template" which is defined in that import. I'm loading this XSL using the following commands: CComPtr <IXMLDOMDocument2> pDoc; pDoc.CoCreateInstance(L"msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument. 3.0 "); pDoc ->put_async(VARIANT_FALSE); pDoc ->put_resolveExternals(VARIANT_FALSE); CComPtr <IXSLTemplate> pTemp; pTemp.CoCreateInstance(L"msxml2.XSLTemplate. 3.0 "); pTemp.putref_stylesheet(pDoc); I'm getting an error "Named template 'ads' does not exist in the stylesheet". When I tried using "msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.5.0" and "msxml2.XSLTemplate.5.0" it works fine. I thought it might be an old version problem. but when i tried using "msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.6.0" and "msxml2.XSLTemplate.6.0" it did not work again. Anyone has an idea or refer me to the problem i've got Joe Tag: Visual C++ General MVP Visual C++

It's the MIDL compiler thats the problem: http://blogs.msdn.com/mikewasson/archive/2006/10/02/MIDL-error_3A00_-_2700_annotation_2700_.aspx Then you should have created a separate thread to ask your question or to make your comment. You can create a thread that is categorized as a comment if you just want to make a comment. I don't know the details here, but it is very likely that your problem is different and therefore that is why the solution is different. So for the future, if you need help, it will likely be more beneficial for you to create a separate thread and then describe your situation as thoroughly as you can.

    - Porting a project from C to Unmanaged and Managed C++ I hope someone is in the same situation as me - at least to share in my misery. At our company, we have an existing codebase that consists of about 10 projects. All of the projects are a mix of C and unmanaged C++. We are using VS2005. The projects are not set up to have any /CLR support. What I want to do is, convert all the .C files to .CPP. Once all the files are unmanaged C++, then they should be able to interact with Managed C++ according to C++ Interop (this is the assumption I am operating under). My question is ... how straightforward of a task is this, what issues might arise, and is it possible and/or practical My other option is to use PInvoke to make a C# wrapper for everything, but there is a LOT of code and using PInvoke to wrap everything sounds tedious and error-prone.

    - Calling C++ dll from C# OK.

I actually need to run my applications on Win NT family or at least on Win 2k. I use clean C++ and Win32 functions (all compatible with lower Win versions). Thanks in advance.

Hi:

How we can get the MVP certification

Re: Visual C++ General MVP

Sarath.

AFAIK, MVP is not a certification it is the award for the technical excellency participation and sharing through Microsoft Community.

Please see the MVP FAQ site below

https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=fh;EN-US;mvpfaqs

One more thing, give importance for participation and knowledge sharing than aiming for an MVP award. The MSFT people will recognize you excellency if you are talented and skillful.

Re: Visual C++ General MVP

DevelopperX

Thank you.

I have just 3 days in this forum.
I'm asking about the MVP simply because if someone has a goal, He will feel more encouraged to work.

But now that I know to do, I promise you that I do my best to get it.
