I am starting to follow a book which is saying to use common language
runtime (clr).
So I defined a class I created as __gc type and also I included
<mscorlib.dll>

It seems that when I dynamically resize items in a tree-view control, using TVM_SETITEM and the TVITEMEX iIntegral member, things go awry.  The window draws properly, but it seems like the RECTs for the HTREEITEMs are not updating properly.  This is espeically true if I update ...

When implementing .net interfaces in vc++.net, is there anyway to get around
the "error C2392: : covariant returns types are not supported in managed

I know how to do this in c#. Is it possible in c++.net 2003? If so, please

After taking 2 semesters of C++ at school, I've decided to get a compiler for my personal use when not at school, and one that can do Windows programming.  I've pretty much come down to either vc++ .net 2003 standard or vc++ 6.0 pro.  Basically, my main reservations about .net ...

So, now, we write GP code with template, but today, we found GP also can not satisfy us.

I have an application that works fine when compiled as an executable.
But it is designed to be a plugin also at the same time, by compiling it

backword compatibility.
I created a dll (Redirect.dll) which exposes a function and simply
writes some text (say "Hello World") to stderr stream. I also created a

We've got two developers working on the same mixed C++ project, using .SLN
and .CPROJ project file (i.e. with identical configurations) on two
different VS .NET 2003. The project files are in CVS. On one machine if you
don't change anything between builds, the compiler recognises ...

During the last weeks I've trying to port boost::python 1.23 to work
with Visual C++ 7.1. I had some headaches while doing so because VC++
7.1 supports Koenig lookup and previous ones doesn't support it (and
aparently boost::python 1.23 was not written with Koenig support in

I'm trying to design a form with the help of the VS2003 C++ Forms designer.
This works pretty good as long as the form is not included in a nested

Threads created using the CreateThread API used to leak memory if you
accesed any crt methods within the thread proc. we used to use
_beginthread to work around this issue.
Does anyone know if this has been fixed ?
