Here's my senerio -- I create a dialog resource -- Then I do an 'Add Class'
specifying an MFC class with a CDialog base class. Now the Wizard goes into
a loop asking me to check out lots of my project files (maybe 50 files). And
it won't let me quit this until it iterates thru this ...

how do I release a reference to an object so that the GC will remove it from
memory the next time it collects ?
in C#:
 myObj = null;

I'm currently working in a mixed mode project where the exe is C#, there is a
managed C++ (DLL) assembly, that in part, includes some calls into a native
(unmamanged) DLL.
I can build/link/run just fine, the question isn't about that.

Excuse me if you consider this a cross post, however, it was originally destined for this group not the vc.atl group, but somehow it went there instead of here! (obviously it was something I did, but hey ho) ... now back to the problem in hand
I've made what I consider to be the ...

I have the impression that about half of the questions posed here are .NET
related.
Does that mean that the world of C++ developers is finally moving to managed
code and reducing the unmanaged code?

Am I right in assuming that a managed C++ namespace definition can't include the period, unlike C#?
e.g. namespace myApp.Diagnostics     ->    causes syntax error
whereas the above compiles ok in C#
Thanks

We have this situation:
We have a unmanaged c++ executable located in a certain folder (a.exe)
It loads a mixed mode managed/unmanaged dll using MFC dynamically from a
completely different path (b.dll)

I have been reading about the proposed changes for C++/CLI and they look
great. There is one thing that currently does not work well that I would
like clarified.
A managed C++ property can be assigned or accessed using the get_ and

When I compile my "mixed-mode" C++ dll in Release mode, I get these
warnings -

I am using .NET2003 and have a question about XML DOM conversion.  
I have a XmlNode that I want to convert into a String respresentation
including all its attributes and children.  I see how to use a
xmlTextwriter to output the data inot a file.  Any ideas as to how to

I have some projects (native - not managed code) in VC++ 2003. I'm trying to
debug that stuff on Win98 system that has VC6.0 installed. Is it possible to
use VC6.0 for debugging code built with VC++ 2003?
I know that remote debugging with VS 2003 can be used in this scenario.

I am trying to convert a String to a char to save to a file using
fwrite(), doing it this way because of some existing code that I am
using. Is there a cast in .NET that will change the unicode to a char?
Thanks

Hi all;
I want to have some utility that will evaluate an expression like: 7+sin(x*7)+x...and return the result...i think that i must build my own parser...if this is the case can any one show me where i can find some free code about parsers?
thanks indeed for your help.

I wrote a managed C++ class that makes COM calls to INetConnectionManager to
enable/disable network connections.  Unfortunately, the following call seems
to fail with a result of -2147417843 when calling this managed code from any
.Net application.  The line that fails is:
