I'm running Visual Studio 97 (vc++ 5.0) on Windows XP SP2 and when I run my
program from inside the development environment, and then I quit it, it goes
back to VC, but sometimes if I hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and look at my processes
running, there is my program!  Which can stop it from ...

/// Compile with "cl  /Zc:wchar_t  /clr  bug.cpp"

Hello
im build very simple ATL server component (takes string from client an
returns uppercase string)
i like to debug this string from visual studio so i could see wha

In keeping with my policy of always using _TCHAR*s when possible, I am
trying to convert a System::String* to a _TCHAR*.
When I use this (my eventual aim is to get it into a pre-allocated,
unmanaged, _TCHAR* called 'error'):

I want to cast a class into a byte array.  I've seen some examples of this
floating around, but they all have simple data members.  What happens if I
cast something that has a ArrayList or an Array??  Does it loop through the
array and cast them all and I end up with a big array ...

I'm having difficulty figuring out a simple way to dump unmanaged structure
and/or class data to binary files.
In standard C++:

Was wondering if anyone could help me with this odd error:
Am working in VS.Net Framework 1.1 C++.
I had a function defined as void colorizeImage().  I decided I didn't
need that function anymore and so renamed it to be void

Another question:
I have a mixed managed/unmanaged MVC++ 2003 project and it uses a VC++ 6.0
lib file that only uses windows functionality no MFC. So far it worked fine.
But somehow now I get a an error during the construction of a pure unmanaged

Is there a way of specifying an icon for an .EXE in the VS settings for a
VC++ .NET project? I'm sure I'm missing something simple, as I can't find
anything about this.
Thanks,

Im trying out VS.NET 2003 by trying to make my own single linked list
library. Im trying to use templates but keep getting LNK2019 errors.
Right now I slimmed down my project to just the main.cpp, linked
list.cpp/h and Node.cpp/h

In the below code, RefCntObject and RefCntCObject are automatic pointers to
non-const and const objects, respectively.
When the code is compiled with "cl a.cpp", all is fine, and the output is as
follows:

on my Win2k I have a service running. Inside the service start code I use
SetConsoleCtrlHandler() (this is because the service can also be started as
console process for debugging). I realized that my service is shutdown in
some random time (~hours) due to call to HandlerRoutine() ...

The page above solved all of my problems with one exception. When the file
has strange data in it, possibly Japanese, I get the following error:
System.Xml.XmlException: '☼', hexadecimal value 0x0F, is an invalid

I have been developing on Visual C++ 5.0 on a Windows XP box.  I installed
the SP2 for XP, and now I can't get to the help file for VC, any ideas?  I
can't get at it from the help menu or from highlighting a function and
hitting F1.

Perhaps this isn't really a .NET question, but I'm hoping there is an
easy solution within .NET/VC++.
The problem:  I have a directory full of different types of data files
and I need to grab the latest copy of data to load into my program.
