When .NET 2.0 get out I ordered VS2005 Standart edition and downloaded all
the express line.
+ the platform SDK.
I had to modify some VS environment setting IN VCExpress so it could find

Comments appreciated. I coded an approach to simulating multiple inheritance
of implementation in C# using PIMPL and a type based static class factory
that seems to combine the extensibility of inheritance with the encapsulation
of containment. Hopefully, the C++/cli coders here ...

I need to pass a StringBuilder as a parameter that expects LPWSTR
(SetConsoleTitle).
How do I do this in MC++?
Thanks,

First off, thanks for any and all help this thread might receive.
My problem is this, I have a dll, I convert it into a lib. What I want
to do is load this lib into C++ and make a function thats an exact copy
of one inside this lib.

It looks like when I make a Form resizable and/or hit the maximize button
that it shows garbage (unitialized memory) for the new portions of the form
and then fills it in with background color. It only shows it very briefly,
but it's VERY visible during this time.

The following code:
char x_char = '0' ;
String^ x_str = c_char.ToString( ) ;
results in:

VC8.0 crashes while compiling boost-1.33.1 serialization library (or any
other library that includes the serialization headers) if code analysis
(/analyze) is enabled.  This problem did not occur with prior beta releases
of boost-1.33.1 or with the VC8.0 beta.  You may want to ...

Due to the tightening of the VC++ compiler in 2005, I have run into a
compiler error (from code that previously worked in 2003) using a
CComPtr<ITypeLib> as an element of a std::list, as follows
std::list<CComPtr<ITypeLib> >.  I understand the problem, so am looking

I've seen at least one article on this:  How to access classes, etc.
managed-to-unmanaged.  I can't find it.  Any tricks or pointers?
I guess the class name won't get munged but I'm not clear about
necessary class declarations.

With a Managed class, if I'm #including a Windows SDK header file, and call
an API, it appears (according to .NET Reflector) that it automatically
generates a [DLLImport()] for each API call that I make.  In other words, it
isn't actually calling the native method directly, ...

Is possible to have a managed method within a Native(un-managed) class
within a \clr project?
E.g.
class  myClass

Except for legacy or non-.NET applications, is there any reason to use VC++
anymore? It seems that for .NET applications, there would be no reason to
choose C++ over C# since C# is faster to develop with (i.e. no header files,
objects are easier to create and use, C# language is ...

I'm trying to create a Managed C++ library that extends the console features
beyond System::Console capabilities.  I chose MC++ over C++/CLI because I
need it to work on the 1.1 framework.  I haven't programmed C++ in years and
I'm very very new to Managed C++. Thus, I'm having ...

Iv compiled my current C++ project as \clr as i want to start putting
in some specific C++\CLI code to serialize my MFC objects to .NET
equivalents.
The program crashes on startup, something to do with the stack frame

I am trying to make a library that will read and write one of our text file
formats.  It is a hierarchical structure and I have modeled the classes
after it.  For example:
class Character
