There is a 3rd party library that is a bit complex, has a number
of functions and structs and variable length data, the whole bit.
I saw Eric Gunnerson's July 14, 2002, article "Using Existing Code
in C#".  He talks about four different ways to wrap the code in

In order to maintain compatibility with some older software I need to be
able to read and write a classic ini type file.  I don't see anything like
that in VC.NET.  The old code looks something like this:
TIniFile *INI;

I have tried every Windows API that I can think of to get the Tooltip
message that pops up from the tooltips_class32 window class but without
success.  I know it can be done because SPY++ can retrieve them when they
are visible.

Hi, I am new to C++ from C, I am a bit confused about using global objects in
C++. I have a program that need to share some data(held in classes) between
files, and of course I thought about using global objects. But then I notice
lots of people said it is something to avoid ...

Are there any command like Unix "tail -f " ?
I'm developing a service program who writes log file in each 5 second.
Now, I want to watch changes of the contaxt of the file.
I know Unix porvides such program ,"tail -f ".

At URL http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate there
is the Windows XP SP2 Platform SDK.
What does this provide in addition to the stuff installed by VS 2003?
Does it come with a C++ compiler?

In .NET multithreading we have to assign a thread to a method of a
separate object each time (and not two methods of the same object)?
In other words, why does this hung?
#using <mscorlib.dll>

I'm using Visual C++ .NET 2003 and I want to use the ArrayList class
in order to put managed classes in it.
For instance , i wrote :
(I created an empty .NET project)

Thanks for this Oleg, nice try! Unfortunately the solution you gave
refers to .NET 2002 and I am using .NET 2003.
In the article it says:
"This bug was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++ .NET (2003), and all

The 3rd party SDK that I would like to use in C# (I am an C/C++
programmer) is designed to be used from C/C++.  This is how it
works:
The vendor is abstracting things a bit.  The real DLL has only one

i have developed a class that has a member called 'PostMessage'
if i only reference this member from within the class context, there is no
problem, but if i trie to execute it as a method, i get the error
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall

I am compiled my C file into IL source,
How i can compile this file back to OBJ file, not to EXE or DLL?
or, can i compile to OBJ file VB or C# code and link them with C++ managed
OBJ files?

I am exporting a class from a managed dll created in Visual C++ 2005
Express.
In A.h header file I have
// A.h

I am trying to use a 3rd party DLL that requires the main window handle as
a parameter.
e.g. MyFunc(WHND MyHandle);
The example looks something like this:

i want to store binary data into my property. i read earlier positing on
"microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vc" group with subject as SAFEARRAY in
attributed ATL7 Project. i followed the same approach but unfortunately i
failed to do that.
