• litewoheat .NET framework 1.1 from 2005

  Is it possible to compile .NET framework applications using .NET framework 1.1 without having visual studio 2003 installed I know that you can do this with VB and C# projects with MSBee, but that tool doesn't seem to support C++. It is frustrating because I can make my programs compile in both VS 2003 and VS 2005 with virtually no code changes, however I'd like to make them compile on a computer that has only VS 2005 installed. Is there a way to use the .net 1.1 SDK to do this Sarath. wrote: can't you use cl.exe and make files to compile Thanks, that works... sort of. Is there anything slightly more automated Or is there a way to list what commands Visual Studio runs so I don't have to copy ...Show All

• DavidThi808 im sure there's a way to do this

  I have a variable of type long double and i've heard that c++ is accurate up to the fifteenth digit. Well, I'm writing a WIN32 console application and I'd like if I could output this variable to as many digits as possible. I'm sure there's an easy way to format decimal output isn't there the statement cout << variable << endl; only outputs it up to 6 digits, which isn't enough for my purposes. Can anyone help me with this thanks, vicarious cout has a default floating point precision of 6 digit. You can verify this by calling cout<<cout.precision(); You can set the outut streams precision by calling cout.precision(new_val); where new_val is the floating point precision you desired.

• technica Slider Range Problem and S309PictureBox Active X Control

  Hi, I want set a range for my slider in visual studio 2005, mfc, dialog. But I dun know why I only can set the range max and min in main dialog. When I call second dialog with slider (range was set like ::slider.SetRangeMax(60,True);) it appeared an error with afxcmn.h line 438. If I set the range for slider in main dialog , it seems ok.

Its a internet application and i need it to work on win, mac etc. how should i plan to do it different versions for different platforms where can i get SDK's for other platforms then win what is platform depedent and what should i look for any tips of how i could pull this of c++ it self is pretty portable(if you do not use MS extensions MFC etc.). What you need to do is to identify which part of your project is not portable. Non portable part could be handled by special #define or you can use some kind of 3rd party library.

• curtKauf Why do my macros stop working?

  Visual C++ 2003 .Net Framework 1.1 I record a simple macro to comment out a line of code. Then I bind it to a key. Everything works fine. Then, after closing visual studio and starting it again my macro stops working. At least I think this is what makes it stop working, but I'm not positive on that. I even open the macro browser and right click on it and select "Run" and I see the cursor turn into an hour glass for a second, but then nothing happens. Even selecting "Run" on other Microsoft samples such as "CommentOut" don't do anything. So, I recreate my temp macro and select "Run" in the macro browser. Most of the time this works, but it seems like sometimes that doesn't even work. I'm e ...Show All

• allenwfc Variable definition using parenthesis-syntax

  Hi guys! I ran into a very strange error when trying to compile the following code: char ** const freelist(p_freelists+index); //freelists is of type char**, index is of type int The code was ported from a gcc-based environment, where it compiled fine. However, under VC++ 2005 this throws an error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'p_freelists' On the other hand, when changing to the (more or less) semantically equivalent: char ** const freelist = p_freelists+index; everything works fine. My question is: Why does the code using the parenthesis-syntax not compile Regards, A. Weis Bug opened on behalf of A.

• Noemie Can i make VS play a sound when build is done?

  Is this possible i know there are post build events and such but even when i try to print an ascii bell char to make it beep, it does not work. it would just be good to know when the build is finished. For why Visual Studio doesn't have build sounds and what to do about it, see this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=189939&SiteID=1 Actually, there's the Visual Studio 2005 IDE enhancements that includes the Event Toaster that will allow you to associate sounds with various Visual Studio 2005 events including build: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=cd7c6e48-e41b-48e3-881e-a0e6e97f9534&displaylang=en Thanks - I added the VB macro ...Show All

• Antioch _resetstkoflw()

  could not find entry point __resetstkoflw(). Why this error occurs And what is the solution for that That's a VC6 import library. What version of Visual Studio do you use If you are using VC6.0 then please use the newsgroups at http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups for such issues. Thanks, Ayman Shoukry VC++ Team It's there, both in the static and DLL versions of the CRT for VS2005. I had no trouble compiling nor calling it. Sounds like you might be linking the wrong CRT libraries... But when I checked in msvcrt.dll, that function is not present in that file. So what to do How to solve this problem ...Show All

• Will87 Floating point stack overflow

  My application works fine in VS2003, but in VS2005, it is producing an overflow of the floating point stack.  This seems like it must be a code generation error in the new compiler.  Has anyone else experienced this problem In the particular case I am looking at, I step through the instruction FLDZ in the disassembly window.  Instead of getting a zero in ST(0), I get 1#IND, and the SF and C1 bits are set in the x87 FPU Status Word.  The first time through this code it works OK, but this second time through, the FPU tags register shows that the stack is full before the FLDZ instruction.

• Jan Ku&amp;#269;era why :: . .* can not be overloaded

  hello people, i m into c++ for quite some time.. .. i hav a doubt why :: (scope resolution; ) . (member selection ) .* (member selection through pointer to function) operator can't be overloaded in "The C+ + Programming Language Third Edition" its written that " They take a name, rather than a value, as their second operand and provide the primary means of referring to members. Allowing them to be overloaded would lead to subtleties [Stroustrup,1994]." please help me to understand above sentence... If you ask a technical question, you're going to get a technical answer.

• Donaghy CButton Events in MFC?

  Hello I just made a little simple app (because I just started last night) that has a button (CButton) with no events and a text box (or CEdit...) and a Static label (CStatic). Now, with that done and working, I'm content (remember, I started last night!) Anyways, my name for CButton is "cb", CEdit is "ce", and CStatic is "cs", all without quotes. Now, I would like so that when cb is pressed, cs will contain the string that was input from ce. How can that be done Please, explain step by step. If you don't want to explain the whole thing, just show me the code, I'll eventually find out.
