if have a __gc class with a datamember of type : a pointer to a DateTime,
but I get a compiler error :
__gc class Employee
{

I am trying to create a property which returns an enum.
The following class does not work, can someone fix it?
I am using VS2003 C++
public __gc class Drive

Where do the values for $(VCInstallDir), $(FrameworkSDKDir),
$(FrameWorkDir), $(FrameWorkVersion) and $(VSInstallDir) (and any I have
missed) come from?

  Still having problems with converting my VC 2003
project to VC 2005 beta, this time with events (using the new
C++ syntax).
My class defines the following event:

  I've just installed Visual Studio 2005 and recompiled
two existing projects previously compiled with VS 2003.
The first project is a un-managed DLL and the second one
a managed DLL making use of the un-managed DLL.

My application is an MDI. It has an MDI window (main window).
Now, I want to create a nother MDI window
CMDIFrameWnd *main = new CMDIFrameWnd();
main->LoadFrame(IDR_ANALYSE, WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | 32768, NULL, NULL);

The MSDN techdocs are somewhat limited on this and I wanted more
information.  Is there any resource that says definitively which is
faster /O2 or /Ox and by how much?

Each time I right click on an exe file, say Acrobat.exe, and look at
the properties page, I could see information such as company name,
version and build number, etc. of the application.
How does anyone do that? I've used Microsoft .Net 2003 to write my C++

I compiled as following
(e.g) cl first.cpp
but following message ↓
Cannot open include file "windows.h" :Such a file or directory

are managed arrays of value types created on the managed heap, just as are
managed arrays of reference types ?
String* StrArray[] = new String* [5];    // Arrays of a Reference  type
int NumArray __gc[] = new int __gc[5];    // // Arrays of a Value type

what is the best way to get the path to the most recent installed
version of the framework?
In a managed app I could use RuntimeEnvironment.GetRuntimeDirectory()
(however - I believe - this does not return the most recent installed

How to create multifile assembly in Managed Visual C++ ? Using VSIDE. Please
do not point me to MSDN pages, I already read those pages, and it only says,
that you can create, (but no info, or steps how to create?) it in VSIDE, but

I'd like to purchase a copy of Visual c++ ver. 6.  Can a Msft rep who reads
this message please send me an e-mail or respond to this post?  Thanks!

1) I find the notation for managed arrays in C++.NET very confusing :
Sometimes is it not necessary to use the pointer notation ==>
short pS2 __gc[] = new short __gc[MAX];
Sometimes it is !!! (aparently when declaring an array of managed types) ==>

I would like to encapsulate the following CRC32 routine inside a C++
un-mananged class.
I am having difficulty initializing the "const static unsigned int table[]"
inside an un-managed C++ class.
