-40 degrees is the same for F and C

I've heard that joke but usually the 3rd is an engineer and he says "I know, but I can get close enough to be within tolerance."

Unfortunately I still haven't found a solution for this problem. I ended up just going back to using VS 6.0 to continue developing my software.

Hello, I am working on using a COM from C++ in new C# code. I have connected and I can get access to the member functions. The problem that I am having is that one of the member functions takes a STRUCT as an input and it outputs an array of STRUCT. And in the STRUCT there are some char arrays. So when I run the C# code I get an error message "Specified array was not of the expected type." I'll put in a bit of the code that I am converting: C++ ----------------- interface IHangerAssignment2 : public IUnknown { virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE Analyze(const HangerIn2& rIn, HangerOut2* pOut, int nOut, int& nResults) = 0; }; where HangerIn2 and HangerOut2 are structs that inherit from other structs. HangerOut2 inherits from a struct that contains 2 char arrays. HangerOut2 also contains an array or char arrays. in C# --------------- I rewrote HangerIn2 public struct HangerIn2 { public HangerIn hangerIn; //I just added the HangerIn struct as a member // New USP2 properties public double kingWidth; public double kingHeight; public double []bearingLength; public bool concealedFlange; }; I did the same for HangerOut2 which contains several arrays. The converted code in C# public interface IHangerAssignment { void Analyze(HangerIn2 hgrIn, ref HangerOut2[] hgrOut, int maxOutput, ref int nResults); } When this function is called, that is when I get the error "Specified array was not of the expected type." I did notice that when stepping through the debugger that the members are always listed in alphabetical order.

LRESULT CFrameWnd::OnActivateTopLevel(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
CWnd::OnActivateTopLevel(wParam, lParam);

// exit Shift+F1 help mode on activation changes
ExitHelpMode();

#ifndef _AFX_NO_OLE_SUPPORT
// allow OnFrameWindowActivate to be sent to in-place items
if (m_pNotifyHook != NULL)
{
// activate when active and when not minimized
m_pNotifyHook->OnActivate(
LOWORD(wParam) != WA_INACTIVE && !HIWORD(wParam));
}
#endif

// deactivate current active view
**CWinThread \*pThread = AfxGetThread(); //This returns NULL for the thread
ASSERT(pThread); //This is where the assertion error occurs.**  
if (pThread->m\_pMainWnd == this)
{
	CView\* pActiveView = GetActiveView();
	if (pActiveView == NULL)
		pActiveView = GetActiveFrame()->GetActiveView();
	if (pActiveView != NULL)
		pActiveView->OnActivateView(FALSE, pActiveView, pActiveView);
}

mWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); When it gets to this point, the assertion error appears. I stepped into the code for ShowWindow and when it calls the AfxGetThread() it returns a NULL then it gives the assertion error because the return should not be NULL.

The assertion error is in File: f:\rtm\vctools\vc7libs\ship\atlmfc\src\mfc\winfrm.cpp Line: 942

I am trying to use a CFrameWnd in my code and I keep getting an assertion error when I try to ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

CWnd \* tempWnd = new CWnd(); //Create a new CWnd object
tempWnd->Attach(p\_adsw\_hwndAcad); //handle to the main window
CFPLvlLyrWnd \*mWnd = (CFPLvlLyrWnd\*)(RUNTIME\_CLASS(CFPLvlLyrWnd))->CreateObject(); //CFPLvleLyrWnd is derived from CFrameWnd
RECT sizze = CFrameWnd::rectDefault;
DWORD dwStyle = WS\_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW;
    //set up Window size
if (mWnd->Create(NULL, "Levels/Layers", dwStyle, sizze, tempWnd, MAKEINTRESOURCE(0) ))
{
        mWnd->m\_parentWHandle = p\_adsw\_hwndAcad;
            tempWnd->BeginModalState();
	mWnd->ShowWindow(SW\_SHOW);
}
else
{
	AfxMessageBox("LoadFrame failed!");
}
HWND tempHandle = tempWnd->Detach();

delete(tempWnd);

This will run in VS 6.0 but in VS 2005 I get an assertion error and the program crashes. What could be the problem? Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!:confused:

I had been using Visual Studio 6 C++ and I am switching my code to Visual Studio 2005 C++. For 3 cases where I have a CWnd implemented and I try to run CWnd::ShowWindow on the implementation I get an assertion error because the program calls AfxGetThread() and AfxGetThread returns a NULL for the thread. How can I either get the ShowWindow to work correctly or is there another way I can accomplish the same task as AfxGetTread without getting the exeption

The Wii does have an internal hard drive. The Wii can play online with others as well. Not that I need to play with people online (there are 6 people in my house).:laugh: I have a Wii, PS2 and GameCube and I really like the Wii. I refuse to pay $600 for a PS3. All of the additional features are not worth the extra cash. I have a computer and a DVD player for most of the PS3 functions.
