I just downloaded the C++ 2005 Express package but can not create an
executable for my programs. Does the software have a linker to do this
or was it not included since it is free?

Hi I am doing the following in my windows form
protected: void virtual OnShown(EventArgs^ e ) override
{
}

I have a form with a KeyDown event handler method attached to it. It
has three text boxes and two buttons (buttons are attached to event
handler). However when I debug, the form opens with the first text box
focussed, and when I press enter the Win XP 'Default Beep' sound plays

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional, and I didn't find the
STL.NET. This code:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <vector>

At one point I started a thread about how hard it is to convert 2003 Managed
C++ code to 2005 /clr C++ code, and said it was too hard. Well, now that
I've been doing it for a while, it isn't really that bad. You have to know a
few rules, and then just allow the compiler to tell ...

I'm using VS C++.NET 2005 Express in /clr mode. Say I have a PointF array:
array<PointF>^  point_array = gcnew array<PointF>(100) ;
Now I want to re-allocate point_array, and in doing so also free up the
previous array's points. Is this sufficient:

Hi to all folks here,
can anyone give me an estimate of the difference in performance between the
new versions
of C# and C++ 2005 (for .net of course) ?

I have just port my C++ 6.0 project into C++ project of Visual Studio.NET.
However, .NET tell me that it can not find iostream.h. Some search on the
internet tell me that I should change the #include <iostream.h> into #include
<iostream>.

I would assume in the following that 'instance' being set to 'nullptr'
should cause the instance of myClass that was created to no longer have any
pointers pointing to it, and therefore be 'destroyed':
ref myClass

What's special about System::String?
For instance, why can't one write a function like
using System::String;
void foo( const String% );

I've never really touched C++ and thought that seeing as I'm familiar with
C# & the Framework, I may as well have a go at managed C++.
I'm trying to write a Class Library to work with my C# program. I want to do
this in C++ for two reasons, 1 because PInvoking is a pain and 2 for ...

Does anyone have a good replacement for VariableTimeToSystemTime ... which
is really just a double that's pushed with some math to a struct for the
day, year, second, etc. What I have is the double and really would like to
have it in a structure that have the milliseconds.

hi, this is a n00b question but when i draw on a panel in my form using GDI
and a pen, but when i minimize the form, or put anything in front of the item
in drawing on, the graphics go away. how can i fix this?

Alright, I'm just learning C++ and I'm trying to make a program.
It uses a 10*10 array, calculates what all the values are and then
outputs the values stored in the array on the screen.
My teacher's out sick, and no one in my class has been able to help
