Hi, all
Please help me to solve compilation error :
frmDeviceEnentsHandl.cpp(32) : error C2440: 'type cast' : cannot
convert from 'System::IntPtr' to 'DEV_BROADCAST_HDR *'

I want to create a GUI using VS .NET. For now I just want to input
some parameters used by the algorithms I've written in C++. Maybe
later I want to access a database to load the data from and plot
figures if it isn't too hard to do.

I already specified to ignore specific library:
MSVCPRT.lib MSVCRT.lib LIBC.lib MSVCRTD.lib LIBCD.lib
command line is like:
/INCREMENTAL /NOLOGO /DLL /NODEFAULTLIB:"MSVCPRT.lib MSVCRT.lib LIBC.lib

I have a heap problem in my com exe server.
When i use windbg as the compiler in application verifier is windbg started
and i can press 'g' and the server is running unitil i get the exception.
When i'm using VC.net i get an excpetion in the client which starts the

Will Visual C++ 2005 really be Visual? In other words, will I be able
to create Windows Forms using the GUI builder like I do with VB and
C#. Will it be a full citizen in the .Net world?

Other than the fact that it compiles to .NET IL code instead of to raw x86
assembler, what are the other differences between the C++ for .NET and
regular C++ for x86?
Also, what compiler(s) do you use to compile for .NET and what options are

Here are my link errors :

Curious to see if anyone can help.

To the VC .Net'ers out there...
I noticed alot of strange behavior in the way VC .Net apps behave in the
IDE.  It's a bit odd, so maybe people have workarounds.  I'm worried to
devote my project to the managed/unmanaged heuristic because these early

I'm having a problem with a mixed managed/unmanaged DLL.  When I
attempt to reference "Exception" in my VB.NET code, it conflicts with
some other "exception" that gets somehow gets into the assembly.
This code reproduces the issue:

I have a dll that is beeing called by C++, VBA, Java and C#
One of my customers does not like that I have bool in the argument list
of some of the exported functions so I want to replace all my bool
arguments

I have Microsoft Visual C++ .NET   69462-112-0620947-18487 (VS 2003).  When I
compile my C++ console application program I get the following:
C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR  (compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 2701)
Has anyone heard of this bug/feature before?

  I have found that VC++ has new great feature in VS .NET 2005. I mean
customization of build process by adding new tools. It is really working for
tools which are similar to compiler, but I didn't found how I can add new
linker tool for example. Is it possible?  

What happens exactly when I do the following:
struct A {
int i;
string j;
