The errors do have line number references, so better than nothing, eh? Maybe you already know... the Beta-2 is available for download, or cd ordering (msdn web site). Maybe the ide will be more useful!

Haven't received any reply to a question I posted a few weeks (or more) past, so will try again... anyone out there using the 2005 beta? If so have you found that the IDE doesn't highlight and redirect focus to the statement in error when you click on the error message? This may be a problem with the beta, but maybe I have overlooked some setup option. Anybody have the same problem, or a solution (other than discontinuing usage of the beta!)? TFB

I've recently started using the C++ .NET 2.0 beta package and see that coding errors are not "marked", or highlighted after a compilation when I click on the error message... instead, the ide goes off into a "help" like presentation that is general and not specifically directed to the erroneous statement. What gives? Have I missed setting some option somewhere? :confused:....:zzz:

Anybody out there know a reasonably straight-forward way to save modified CBitmaps??

:confused:hello everybody... using vc6/MFC how can i grab highlighted (selected) text from the current screen? Sorta like firing up a spell checker from the task bar to fetch selected word(s). All helpful suggestions appreciated! Thanks! tom

Okay... thanks for the input! Tom

Thanks Jeryth, I'll email you my address! I visited your website and think it's looking great. Thanks again! Tom

I am trying to find a level 9.0 or 9.0b DirectX SDK on CD for development using C++/MFC and Win32 API. I can only find a download available on msdn and really don't want to take a couple days to download the 200+ MB file! Does anyone out there know if it's available on CD and if so, what's the URL to the site/page? Thanks for any help in this regard. Tom

I have scanned msdn for a level 9.0 or 9.0b DirectX SDK that's available on CD and can't find it. The product is available as a 200+ MB download, but I would only do that if I were leaving for a two day holiday! Does anyone know where I can obtain a CD containg DirectX (for C++/MFC and Win32 development). Many thanks for any help in this regard. TFB

Hi Nick. Thanks for your willingness to help! I solved the problem yesterday in both managed and unsafe modes. Just had to do a little more research about unsafe mode, "fixed" code groups, and structure layout attributes!

I am new to C# and am trying to call some old legacy C stuff that accepts as input a pointer to a struct that has several fields that are pointers to large byte arrays. I am able to get a clean build but am not able to run without getting an exception that says something like unable to marshal structure field of this type (it's referring to the array pointer (reference) fields). I have even tried unsafe mode but have had problems taking the address of an array. I am using the Beta-2 Visual Studio. tfbriscoe@msn.com Tom
