I want to start programming in MS Visual C++. I understand that .NET is
required? Or do I have to get MSStudio to integrate my work into the NET
frame work? And any idea when VS 2005 is going to come out. Should I buy
MSC++ now and then up-grade? I need some real basic fatherly ...

I do mostly programming in VB6 and C# although I like to dabble in C++ now and again, I was just wondering what is a good* regular expression library to use for C++, given that I DON'T want to use managed C++.
* I define "good" in this case as conforming to the following ...

I have written an application that runs as a subprocess of a service, where the service is a .NET C# Windows Service that simply starts the subprocess and then periodically checks that the subprocess is still running, restarting it if it have stopped.
The problem is that the ...

I am stuck in a situation and I do believe that this should work, but it
doesn't.
I have a unmanaged dll, that uses MFC. This works great.
Now I recompile the unmanaged dll so it contains mixed mode

just in case this is somewhat new:
myfile.h(677): fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR
        (compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 2701)
         Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++

The following managed C++ function is called from an unmanaged C++ DLL:  
double Divide( double num, double denom )
{
 if( denom == 0.0 )

All,
I've installed the VS 2005 Beta 1 and was trying to build our current
product. I get a compile error when enum value is specified with
classname::enumname::enumvalue. Seems the compiler does not want the

I wonder if it is possible to have templates expand based on constness,
something like:
template<typename A, typename B>copy( A &a, B &b);
becoming:

We've found some pretty serious performance hits that we didn't expect in a
mixed mode C++ application. The number crunching bits of our algorithms are
compiled with #pragma unmanaged. They call a number of inline functions
elsewhere, and from the documentation my understanding was ...

Sorry to repost, but this is becoming aggravating, and causing me a lot of
wasted time. I've got a reasonably large mixed C++ project, and after a
number of builds (but not a constant number) linking (and sometimes
compiling) becomes immensely slow, and task manager shows that link ...

Hi. I'm declaring a property on a base class that is represented by a
pure virtual function. Something like this:
public:
 __declspec( property( get=GetWidth ) ) int Width;

is there a possibility to set part of the strings contained in
AssemblyInfo.cpp to a default value which is the same for all project?
Like
[assembly:AssemblyCompanyAttribute("")];

My purpose is to know which code reads value from a certain address. So I want to set a memory breakpoint and when cpu reads from the address, the breakpoint will be hit. But in the "Data breakpoint" in vc7, there are only two kinds of condition: "is true" and "has changed". How ...

    I'm moving from Visual C++ 6.0 to Visual C++ .NET 2003 and I saw the
changes to the streams. I'm rewriting my code and finished doing it
yesterday.
    All seemed to be right, but the file reading.

I am writing an application for tracking files and directory changes
I used
