I'm not too much of a C++ programmer but I have a bunch of C programs
(they compile with GNU) and want to get them to compile in VC++ 2008.
In Unix I go "./configure" and it makes a "Makefile".  I then do
"make" and when thats done I do "make install".

Does this type of thing exist in C++ /CLI as in C#
public class A
{
   public A(int foo)

I have a project that contains a templated routine.  This same project contains
code that tries to construct an instance of that templated routine.  I have the
following bits and pieces:

We are in the process of making the code to be compatible for 64 Bit windows
OS. We have dlls/exes are built on Smalltalk and Vc++ ( versions 6.0, 2002,
2003). Is it enough to do a system test on 64 Bit OS? or is it required to
build the code to detect the portability issues for ...

I need some education on something that is apparently so basic that it's not
described anywhere in the MSDN docs (that I can find).
Here is the underlying problem I am trying to solve:  I have two existing
products.  One is a managed code product that includes a singleton (exposed ...

I'm writing C++/CLI code (compiled with /clr) that accepts a native char array
(and its length) and calls a managed routine that expects an array of
System::Byte.  I was just wondering if there is any magic that I'm missing that
easily marshals the native array into a managed ...

Where can I find XP version of FILECOPY.AVI, to use in a dialog?

Studio 2005, but it is the 16 bit (Windows 95) version. There are a
few other videos in the same directory that look like the 32 bit

I downloaded a file manager example with drives being listed and
supposing E: was a cdrom, how do you that e: is ready? is there a win32
function to tell you that it is ready for reading without doing a
physical read, and having it pop up with insert a disk.

I downloaded a small sample solution (DLL) from PayPal and I'm getting the
following error when I compile it:
Error 2 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "?.cctor@@$$FYMXXZ"
(?.cctor@@$$FYMXXZ) ButtonEncryption.obj ButtonEncryptionLib

I'm hoping someone can suggest a clever way that I can cause a function call
to become a noop when the user builds the Release configuration.  Here's the
whole sordid story...
I've created a function that operates like cout except that it directs its

I need to develop a dll in C++ which calls a web service for a smart
device/WM. The reason for using C++ is because, that this dll has to
be invoked from a non-dot-net application from the device.
I need to develop the Dll in such a way that i don't have to install

-I created a DB with SQLServer Express 2005 under WinXP and started to try
little things with VisualStudio Express 2008's C#
-When configuring the DB conx under VSE2008 it copies the DB files to the
