I am trying to use jagged and multi-dimensional arrays in C++.
In C# these work fine
// for jagged arrays
string [][] jaggedArray = new string [3][];

Since value classes are not managed by the garbage collector and can't have
destructors but can have member data allocated on the C++ heap, how does
this data get destroyed? For example,
__value class vclass

if I have the compiler option /clr:oldSyntax in a Windows Forms application
    protected:
    void WndProc(System::Windows::Forms::Message* m)
is called

I am porting an instrumentation tool from linux to Visual C/C++.
We designed the tool to be a replacement for the compiler.  The tool  takes
c/c++ files and instruments (adds code) and pipes the new code through the
original compiler.

I am relatively new to the C# language and need to extract data from a text
file. I would like to be able to search the file which is tab delimmited and
extract various fields. I have been using StreamReader to read the file but I
am not sure of the method that actually searches ...

I have a file (mytest.fle) it is just a text file with a different extension.
I would like to be able to open this file through my C++ application and
read it in as a string.
For example, I would right click on this file, select open with, then

I  have a few C# .NET components which might implement one
or several interfaces, let say I1, I2 and I3.
The unmanaged C++ client consumes this component using
gcroot template pointer. How client application can find out

I would like to know the managed C++ syntax of the following method
(defined in C#):
void temp(out byte[] byteArr).
I tried something like:

I have a library that is built in VC6 which contains references to the new
iostream instead
of "iostream.h" to accomodate my .NET Studio built C++ application. However,
in debug mode, I

Now, I have to develop under Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Beta, while
I used to develop under Visual C++ .NET. That means I have to migrate
all my former projects into this environment. The problem is that I
used to use unmanaged code and I notice that  there are so many

I have a problem:
Function CreateNamedPipe (a piece of source below) called in a NT service I
get an error 997 - Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.
When I run the same code as oridinal application (not NT service) everything

I'm getting the following error when linking a Visual
C++ .NET 2003 program. What can be the reason? It worked yesterday on
the same machine.

I have an old C DLL that I want to access via C#.
I'm doing this via an outer DLL that wraps the old C DLL in an unmanaged
C++ class, which is in turn wrapped in a Managed C++ class.  Both these
unmanaged C++ and managed C++ classes are compiled into a single assembly

Is there an intrinsic to wrap the bswap x86 instruction.  I have written a
function to do this with inline assembler but I am wondering if an intrinsic
wouldn't be a better solution.
