The CClientDC class is derived from CDC and takes care of calling the
Windows functions GetDC at construction time and ReleaseDC at destruction
time. This means that the device context associated with a CClientDC object
is the client area of a window.

Hello, I have started to use managed C++ in VS 2003. I have several .NET
class libraries written in MC++.
I am finding the rebuild tendencies in VS to be very annoying. If I make a
minor change to a C++ file (not header), it causes all depend projects to

Hi i am serializing a 'ref struct' object as follows :
private: void Seri( String ^path, Object^ obj )
    {

Thanks to everyone who has helped with some of my elementary questions about
C++/CLI equivalents to C#. I have a few more items that are giving me
headaches. All help is appreciated. What is the proper way to convert the
following?

As I try to create a list of pointers to a garbage collected class I've
created, I'm learning it's not without problems to create an instance of
such list. In fact, so far it won't let me. Apparently STL containers like
'list' are not garbage collected, hence all the ...

As all we know, in order to remove cyclic includes in C++ we seperate
the declarations and definitions of classs and it's member in two files
Header (*.h) and source files (*.cpp). This is not a problem for C# as
there is no concept of include.

its a c++ question. If I have the following code:
TCHAR * getsomestring()
{
   TCHAR buff[2000];

How would this C# contruct be represented in C++/CLI? Or is it even
possible?
PolicyLevel level = (enumerator->Current) as PolicyLevel;

If I try to set com port to baud rate higher than 115200pbs using
SetCommState() API, it returns with an error. The error code is 87 which

Hey guys,

I have a plain unmanaged exe (no /CLR) that is supposed to to use classes
from a mixed mode dll (dll that uses .NET internally). That dll only needs
to expose unmanaged interfaces (classes and/or functions). This is of course
no problem and it works fine. However I have the special ...

I am beginning to write my first applications with C++/CLI and was wondering
if someone could demonstrate the proper way to convert a sample piece of
code. I just need some help understanding the new syntax for handles and
iterating, etc. Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a bunch of C programs from sun. I would like to port them over to PC.
I am wondering if I can simply recompile and run them in Visual C++ .NET
without
having to making a lot of changes? Specifically how to invoke C run time
