It's not entirely clear what you are asking. If you are looking for code standards/guidelines you can check out the Framework Design Guidelines[^] book. An online version is also available here[^]. These are specifically focused on .NET code, but a lot of the guidelines apply to other languages as well. You should also check out the following tools (also for .NET only): FxCop[^] StyleCop[^] Scott Dorman Microsoft® MVP - Visual C# | MCPD President - Tampa Bay IASA [Blog][Articles][Forum Guidelines] Hey, hey, hey.

If the objects are derived from IDispatch, you should be able to downcast the passed IDispatch pointers.  Note that you can't directly cast a pointer to an object like you've shown. // assumes using RTTI CMyObj *m_obj; CMyItem *m_item; m_item = dynamic_cast<CMyItem *>(myItem) ; // first argument IDispatch* myItem myobj = dynamic_cast<CMyObj *>(myObj) ;// second argument IDispatch* myObj // make sure m_item/myobj not NULL!! ... myobj->Dosomething(); Mark Mark Salsbery Microsoft MVP - Visual C++ :java:

For doing this you need to know the concept of preprocessor directive #IFDEF | #IFNDEF ConstantName Commands [#ELSE Commands] #ENDIF if you know this you can do it by just defining a macro suppose _DEBUG_MODE and put it in preprocessor defination of C++ in project properties under debug configuration. and then define like this class MyClass { #ifdef _DEBUG_MODE debugMethod(); debug1Method(); #ELSE releaseMethod() #ENDIF } Regards, Pankaj Sachdeva "There is no future lies in any job" "but" "future lies in the person who holds the job"

You're missing it entirely. myVehicle and *myVehicle point to two different addresses, with the latter already having been freed (via delete myVehicle[0]). Rather than guess at what you are trying to do, why not just try it?
