• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) HwndSource & the Adorner layer

  I have wired up an MFC app to display a WPF panel as a view using the HwndSource mechanism. It all works fine, except nothing on the adorner layer (which I use extensively) is visible. Is this a limitation of the integration technique or is there some way I can see adorners Thanks, Jeremy You need to follow normal HWND rules. Integrating an MFC component within an HwndSource will put it above any wpf content, so nothing will show on top of it. It's a limitation of the interop scenarios. ...Show All

• Visual C++ how to fix "unresolved external symbol __environ" while building with /MD option.

  Hi all, In few of our code we declare "extern char **environ;" and use this value for some environment stuffs. This code causes following linking error when we started using Visual Studio 2005. libabc.lib(nlsconv.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __environ abc .exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals This problem occurs only when we use /MD option during compilation.

• Visual C++ Virtua; class compile problem

  Hi, I have a compile problem with a virtual class. The base class is a dll. Interface is, public interface class BuildModule { virtual void saveModuleDataTiny(TiXmlElement *startElement); } There are a few other virtuals in the above class that work fine, syntax is the same. The above class is then inherited in the class below, which is also a dll. public ref class BuildInputModule : public BuildModule { virtual void saveModuleDataTiny( TiElement * startElement) { //some xml code in here that compiles fine } } Both the above classes compile fine.

• Visual C# Xml documentation: how much is ideal?

  Below, you’ll see a complete example of Xml documentation of a method. One at our company has suggested that we do this for **all** methods, private or public, properties private or public, etc..everything. As much as I think xml docs are great, esp. on public, this seems like overkill to me. I feel that we’ll spend most of our time writing XML documentation for small methods (mostly private), and that this will encourage devs to not properly factor code into smaller chunks. Do you agree or disagree Where do you suggest drawing the line //<summary> /// Save a <see cref="Foo.Bar.Client.Document"/> to the repository with a new name. ///</summary> ///<remarks> /// The content location is an alternative w ...Show All
