I have a unmanged C++ dll which has a function defined like:
Modify(char* str)
The char* is an in/out with a max length of 1024
I'd like to have a C++.Net Wrapper function which can be called by

Under VC++.net, if i include windows.h, and compile my application, i
have several data types ambiguous, like IDataObject, IMessageFilter,
IDropTarget,...
so it means that they are defined in windows.h but also in some other

I am trying to use a include file to include a whole bunch of text data
in my source cpp file.
This text data can change so I have to maintain it as a separate file
and have something that works like a  #include directive.

I am creating a Setup Deplloyment application  for a MFC app that uses STL.
What are the necessary Merge Modules ? And what is the difference between:

I have to write a simple program that will retrieve information about

Hey There,

I wrote a mixed-mode dll (with MFC and C++/CLI) which is called from a C#-EXE.
Under special cirumstances (that is: another process sends a windows-message
to my process - this message is processed by the native part and calls
managed code in turn) a loader lock appears.

is it possible to make a .Net service with C++/CLI with the support of
MFC library ?
I have made a C++/CLI service, that works perfectly.
Then I add MFC support, without using it (only add afxxxx.h and "use

my small project has two files, umg.cpp (unmanaged c++) and mged.cpp
(MC++), and unmanged code will call managed code. However, I cannot
debug from unmanged code into managed code. Can anyone help me to solve
the problem?

I have a function in C++/CLI that calls a native C++ function.
I want the C++/CLI function to measure the time between the call to the

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Apologies for asking such a basic question here but I am not sure where
else to go. I am new to Windoze (have been working with UNIX for many,

I've been trying to learn dotnet myself though a bit of a basterdized
know-how of  dotnet 2003 and previous straight unix C++ programming.
For some reason I have been able to get most of the mechanics down
quickly but there's something that's been eluding me.
