I'm still a bit of a newbie so bear with me.  We've developed some
DLL's in VC 2003. We're going to be moving these dlls between numerous
systems and was wondering what the best way to determine if a
particular dll was registered on that system or not.  Do I simply go

I have a Managed C++ object (in a DLL) which has a method that is
defined like ...
Generic::List<String^>^ buildList(String^ inParm)
Now, when I compile it, I get "warning C4172: returning address of

I'm new of this group and I do not know if this is the correct group
for my question.
I have a DLL with its export library (.lib) wrote in Borland C++ 6. In
borland everything is OK and I am able to include the lib and use the

I was going through this article

I'm currently using MSVC.Net 2003.  My task is to extract header dependencies
from C++ source code.  To that end, I invoke "cl /E" and parse the
preprocessor output.  While this approach is effective, it is quite slow.  
The runtime of this command is so similar to actually ...

In my unmanaged C++ app (VS 2005) I have written a class that inherits from
exception.  I want to export this class from a library DLL, but the compiler
complains because exception is not itself exported.  Any words of wisdom?

I am using VS2003 VC++ .NET.
I want to make a tray icon with a popup menu (like a context menu) that
pops up for a left click.
I can make the notifyicon with a context menu and that works fine, but

My application has a lot of threads which at some point call SendMessage api
passing it the handle of the gui window. The calls r a lot. My question is
that should I call the SendMessage api by protecting it in a critical
section, or the SendMessage api itself handles this kind ...

I created a managed C++ dll project.  I wrote the code and compiled it and
everything builds fine.  The problem is no prj.dll is generated in the
output directories.  It does generate a prj.dll.intermediate.manifest that's
1k and all the obj files.  How do I get a dll?  What I ...

I would like to hear from others who have considered and/or ported code from
traditional C++ to C++/CLI.
The class library I am considering porting to C++/CLI was written in
traditional C++ with STL and a touch of MFC.  It represents the back end to

I would like to port my class library written in standard C++ with STL to
C++/CLI.  Several of my classes inherit from std::vector or std::deque.
From what I can see, dot.net does not offer equivalent classes.   Is this
really the case or have I missed an entire section of the ...

Having trouble writing an "insert into" command for a Microsoft table I'm
accessing through oledb.

Can anyone recommend a good and *easy to use* lexer and parser generator?
Preferably one that was written specifically for VC++ and not mangled
through 20 different platforms.  I've had it up to here (funny hand gesture)
with trying to compile the bullet-riddled code that GNU ...

I have a project that launches Word via a Com object. This project
compiles fine on my desktop.
Now I transferred this project to my notebook, where it won't compile.
