I don't believe so...and anyway, even if you could, the results could be invalid (by someone opening another handle on the file) before you could use them. Just open the file and be done with it. If it fails, it fails! But Win32 will tell you, through a combination of return code and GetLastError. Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

I don't know that there is a definitive "right" way to do that. It likely depends on what services your COM components are providing and what the use model is etc. That said you should take a look at how Microsoft provides managed assemblies for using the Office Object Models. They are called Primary Interop Assemblies[^], and how they are different (better) than the standard Interop Generated .NET code.

Varghese Paul M wrote: streambuf::allocate() streambuf::doallocate() streambuf::blen() streambuf::base() streambuf::ebuf() streambuf::setb() These all refer to the 'reserve area' of the pre-standard IOStreams streambuf. The standard basic_streambuf doesn't have this concept at all (I guess they decided it was better for that concept not to exist in an abstract stream buffer). This post[^], however, gives a suggestion for a possible solution. Varghese Paul M wrote: ostream::osfx() ostream::opfx() These were functions that ran before (opfx) and after (osfx) every output operation. They've been replaced by the sentry nested class, so rather than this: if (os.opfx()) { os.do_something(); } os.osfx(); you have this std::ostream::sentry se(os); if (se) { os.do_something(); } Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

It gives me linker error LNK1104: cannot open file 'LIBCIMT.LIB' when I compile in X64 mode. I have the source code of the library with me. I tried recompiling the third party library using the new iostream header files under VS2008, but it gives me compilation errors which seems to be some in-compatibility issues of new and old iostreams. That sounds about right. I suspect you're going to have to bite the bullet & just start going through them, fixing them. One thing to remember is that (IIRC) old iostreams weren't in the std namespace, new ones are. Also - this page has some handy migration hints[^]. Varghese Paul M wrote: 2. In my project, I use both SQL and MAPI. The project compiles and runs perfectly in WIN32 mode. But the same gives me compilation error C2371: 'BOOKMARK' : redefinition; different basic types Here is a sample code to reproduce the problem. You were lucky before. MAPI and SQL both define BOOKMARK. They happened to both be 32-bit, but now they're not. The only things I can suggest are 1) separating SQL and MAPI functionality into separate source files, or 2) putting (say) the MAPI stuff into a namespace like this: namespace MAPI { #include <mapix.h> } and either using using namespace MAPI; or explicitly identifying things in this new MAPI namespace.

This would depend on the driver and it's implementation. One problem you may encounter is: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271198[^]. However, if SQLExecDirectW is working, why not use it instead of SQLExecDirect. The need to optimize rises from a bad design.My articles[^]

If you can get a copy of Don Box's "Essential COM", I would recommend it. It explains the evolution of COM clearly and thoroughly (but, it's fairly abstract reading). There are two basic concepts that are the core of COM: (1) COM objects are binary-compatible with COM objects and methods written in any other programming language (the compiler vendor implements this feature). This means that you can call CoCreateInstance for any existing, valid COM object (written in any language) and use an instance of that COM object and its methods in an your external program, just by linking to the existing DLL. (2) COM Interfaces cannot be altered once they are published. This is an attempt to eliminate what is known as "DLL Hell". This occurs when a COM component is re-written and re-compiled, changing some signatures of object method calls and causing existing compiled clients that utilize these new methods to fail when a type or method executes with an incorrect memory allocation. There is A Huge Number of Excellent COM Tutorials Right Here at CodeProject[^] An Excellent Two-Part Beginner Tutorial Series about COM is Introduction to COM, What It Is and How To Use It[^] and Part Two, Behind The Scenes of a COM Server[^], by Michael Dunn is a good place to start.
