Thanks for your input and tutorial. I havent bought Visual C++ .NET standard 2003 yet, but I think I will now. Thanks.

Hi all, If i were to buy Visual C++ .NET standard 2003, i understand its compiler does not optimize. Does anyone know if i can use the compiler and linker Microsoft supplies for free download at Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003[^] ,that supposedly is the optimizing compiler and linker that ships with Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional, with just Visual C++ .NET standard 2003? Or does will it not work with the IDE or does the IDE not allow it? Slaru

thanks

Hello, I am not to experienced with VC++. I would like to write a program that is pretty large. (at least for me) I am having trouble with getting all my ideas on paper or in a plan of something. Any suggestions on a possible (free?) program that I can use to plan a project? Slaru

Thanks. I fixed my problem. You say precompiled header files will speed up or slow down compile?

Hi, I have a project I downloaded from cp and dont know why, but when I try to use some classes that are in many (8 0r 9) files, I get this message: *.cpp(2) : fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive *.cpp I get about 10 of these when I compile. Does anyone know what this means? Where is a good place to look up compiler and linker errors? I have had this problem with classes Ive wrote before. Thanks.

Hi I am looking for a free library that can skin my Form and buttons and everything. I have found some options for MFC and other things but want something for forms. Is it even possible? thanks

Hi I had this same question earlier and someone told me that linkers are stupid. That's what I'll tell you because I am a newbie. The solution to your question is to undefine GetObject like so: #undef GetObject If you use System::Windows::Forms::MessageBox you will also need to undefine it. Hope that helped and if anyone could explain why this is that would be great.

I have fixed both problems. Thanks. I made my class all inline and that fixed my linker errors whatever they were. Case closed.

Hey Nish, could you do that because I am new here and don't know much about it. I don't know how to explain it.

Yeah that's what I am talking about. What Frank posted.

Thanks for answering my second question. Is there anyone who knows what my linker problem is or who can give tips to fix it?

Hi, I am new here. I stumbled along this page at CP: http://www.codeproject.com/index.htm[^] Is it a joke or did someone hack the site?

Hey, First of all, I would like to say with only being a member of this site for a little while, I have found it very useful. I am pretty much a newbie in programming and don't know much about compiler and linker errors. I get this error when trying to compile. playSound.obj : error LNK2022: metadata operation failed (8013118D) : Inconsistent layout information in duplicated types (playSound): (0x02000005). LINK : fatal error LNK1255: link failed because of metadata errors Anybody know what this is? If you need source code I can give it. I am sure I included all the includes and libraries. Thanks. Also does anybody know how to convert a String to a LPCWSTR? I hadn't heard of LPCWSTR before but appears to be some other kind of string. example: String * str = S"Hello"; // Convert str to a LPCWSTR so I can pass it into a function somefunction(MyConvertedString) Double thanks.

Hi, I am learning C++ and Windows Forms and get a strange compiler error. I am using the directX header dshow.h for my project and when I do I get this error: error C2039: 'GetObjectA' : is not a member of 'System::Resources::ResourceManager' stdafx.cpp(0) : see declaration of 'System::Resources::ResourceManager' and it points to this code: this->ButtonImages->ImageStream = (__try_cast(resources->GetObject(S"ButtonImages.ImageStream"))); and this was all generated by the designer. I also get something similar when I try to use the MessageBox class. If I don't imclude dshow.h than these errors go away. Any reasons and fixes are appreciated. Thanks.

Hey, I am pretty new to C++ and Visual C++. Managed C++ offers Strings which are very useful. I would like to be able to copy or convert a String to a char array. I need to because I am trying to transfer this String into a function that is unmanaged and excepts char arrays.
