Hi, all!
We are devleping one app that will use disk access with FindFirstFile and
FindNextFile for it. Can someone expose me how works FindFirstFile and
FindNextFile  in disk access? Does the findFirstfile read all files of disk

Can someone tell me how to get the below code working please.
System::Byte * enced = new byte[Data->Length];
///.. copy data in to array.  (omitted)...
//Now pass to memory stream constructor

I've developed a simple game that needs to be compiled as a multithreaded
dll. I've read that since I use this runtime-library my applications will
need MSVCRT.DLL at runtime. Is it possible to perform static linking with
MSVCRT.lib or do I have to ship MSVCRT.DLL together with ...

I'm trying to link a mixed (CLR and native) DLL with visual studio.  I
have it working fine on the command line, where cl is used to invoke
link, but I can't get it to work with VS.  I get:
unresolved external symbol: __CorDllMain@12

using the setup project in VisualStudio : I add an exe that uses a component so I add the component to the setup-project as well
but how can I specify that the component must be installed in GAC when the client runs the setup for the application ?
(so far is it only installed in ...

I have a function that creates an array and want to use that array in the client.
but what is the syntax in C++.NET 2005 to specify an array as output param of a function ??

I'm trying to wrap an unmanaged C++ class in a managed C++ class library.
When I instantiate the wrapper class it's ctor calls the ctor on the
unmanaged class and at that point I get the exception:

I develop a multiple forms applications with Microsoft Visual Studio
C++ .NET 2003 and I'd like to know how can I print more than one page

I'm reading page 40 of "Managed .NET and C++ Development" by Stephen Fraser
and it says:
"Managed C++ value types default to being garbage collected when defined as

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here:

I'm trying to call the Microsoft image-processing function AlphaBlend() in my
Visual C++ application. My software compiles okay, but gets a link error

I need to be able to build my code into a dll where the checksum of the dll
is the same everytime I build it.  In other words, the same exact code gives
me a different checksum each time I build it.
Does anyone know why the dll would not be the same every time?  Is it adding

I try :

I know that it's possible to register with the OS to receive certain file
system events.  Does anyone know if it's possible to receive an event when
the user changes the default printer setting?  Thanks.

My very large native C++ app takes a long time to link (approaching five
minutes).
How can I troubleshoot *why* it takes so long to link?  I'd like to look for
ways to reorganize things to speed up the link.
