I had a C++ dll that I used for C++ applications. I added a managed C++
class to this library and started to use the managed C++ class in my C#

I am building a SQL Server CLR user-defined function (which means it must be
pure safe?). I got hundres/thousands of error. And most errors are in
vadefs.h, crtdefs.h, yvals.h, ymath.h, math.h, float.h, swprintf.inl, .....

I have a question about string literals with C++/CLI.

I'm starting a new project and am still torn deciding whether to go

  I have a C++ mixed mode dll ( unmanaged/managed ) that wraps a C#
dll to provide some functionality for Microsoft Excel. I am able to
compile my solution fine in Visual Studio .NET 2003 and it links and

I am pretty close to the end of my tether at the moment.
I have a project which requires some header fies - which happen to be

I'm new to this group, and recently downloaded the MS Express package

How does one become an MVP?

I am using Managed C++ with a CFormView and a MaskedTextBox and have used
MAKE_DELEGATE to sink the LostFocus event of this control.
