More fun wrapping unmanaged code...
I have a class heirarchy that I need to expose to C#, so I need to wrap all

I attended the VS Launch in San Francisco yesterday.  To be fair, the launch
was shared with SQL Server 2005 and BizTalk 2006, but I was mostly
interested in Visual Studio.  Most of the special talks were centered around
using VS with SQL and BizTalk as expected, but I got a ...

I got 2005 Express to prepare for the arrival of my company's MSDN full
version. Upon loading my project it was converted successfully, but did warn
me modifications would have to be done for it to compile (which I expected).
I then compiled, and got all the errors removed, and I ...

I am not very fluent with computers, but I just got a new system wit

an object file has used precompiled headers, then the ...

We have an MFC application written in VS6.0.
