I have the following code, to do a simple operation by copying the elements
of a vector of strings into an array of char pointers.  However, when I run
this code, the first element in the char array strarr[0] holds garbage
characters.  For some reason, every time the strcpy function ...

Can anyone explain why C++ .NET compiler throws error for the following code
segment:
// Forward declaration of ListViewItemComparer class
public __gc class ListViewItemComparer ;

how do you set a handle to 0, so that the object will be garbage collected ?
    Car^ car2 = gcnew Car();
    car2 = null;    // NOPE
    car2 = 0;    // NOPE

Hi, all
We are using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Service Pack 6. We need to develop a
recursive function to search files in fix drives of user machine. Is there
one API that implement recursity in it?  Will we need to develop recursive

Will be VS2005 (C++) still placing the code generated by the windows
forms code generator in the .h files?
thanks

I'm having trouble getting a handle returned from the following code
within a managed class:
HANDLE m_hSerialComm = CreateFile("\\\\.\\COM1\0\0\0",
        GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE, 0, 0, OPEN_EXISTING,

I have a big program written in VC6 and another library that won
compile with VC6. So what I want to do is to use VC7 to create a DL
for the library and make my VC6 program use the DLL.
Is this possible?

Hello.  I am trying to run the VS C++ compiler from the command line.  I
enter the following:
cl -GX prog1.cpp
It compiles the file fine, but then when it goes to link the object file, I

The following doesn't compile due to absence of the copy constructor in class FileStream:
FileInfo ^ fi = ...;
FileStream fs = fi->OpenRead();
The compiler is Beta 2.  Is this supported?  Planned to be supported?

in C# : Partial type definitions allow the definition of a class, struct or
interface to be split into multiple files.
I'd like to have the equivalent keyword of partial in VC++
does someone has an idea?

It is possible to discover the strong name of an app calling into a native
C++ DLL?   It would be ideal to limit API calls into a given c++ dll  by the
calling assemblly strong name.
thanks

is any one can give me some hint how can i create
a mechanism that support time out.
for example:
i have a job that running and i want to check if this job exceed its time

I have two threads, one UI thread, the other, the worker thread, which is
responsible for keeping on search things and post the found results to a list
control on the UI.
My leader doesn't allow me to use MFC.

     in C, How do I copy a contents of a Structure pointer to a Structure
Variable. e.g
     struct A var1;
     struct A *Var2;

In VC++ .Net 2003, how check or un-check boxes in the "Project Dependencies"
dialog?  Nothing happens when I click the check boxes.0
If Project A needs Project B and B is a Reference of A, A gets recompiled
even if I change only a .cpp file in B.
