Last time I checked, IDispatch calling (e.g. VB) was about 10.000 times slower (thats four orders of magnitude) than using the vftable. Depending on your app it will help, but in your case I think the SQL server is the bottleneck. Of course that's no reason to not make it faster. :-) /Mike

Also I'd be curious to see how you're building that routine. It appears to be a routine to call stored procedures right? Thanks! Richard --------------------------- Richard Caetano richard@caetano.com http://www.caetano.com/richard

There is no rule about calling base class functionality. If you need it to do its work before your work, you call it first. If you need it to do it after, you call it after. If you don't care either way, then do it one or the other, but always be consistent. OnOK() calls UpdateData() during its processing, which you can do at any time you need to (though some say that having to call UpdateData() is a sign of a poorly designed program. I don't always agree, Dialog based apps often need to call it).

Generally BSTR creates memory leak.Hence in order to avoid it use either _bstr_t or CComBstr. And even instead of BSTR* use BSTR object and pass the address to the function. And free it through SysFreeString function. BSTR m_bstr; IHash->Digest(szTemp.m_str, &m_bstr); ... .. SysFreeString(m_bstr);;P ;P :p

Hi ! May be it's the one you'was looking for? #include using namespace std; sstringstream ss; ss << LPCSTR(szSessionID) << LPCSTR(szSep) << LPCSTR(szIPAddress)\ LPCSTR(szSep) << ULONG(::GetTickCount()); CComBSTR szString(ss.str().c_str()); Best regards, ----------- Igor Soukhov (Brainbench/Tekmetrics ID:50759) igor_soukhov@mailru.com | ICQ:57404554 | http://siv.da.ru

CTime::Format() will convert a CTime object into a CString, going to the other way is more difficult. You must parse the date/time string yourself and pass the values to a CTime constructor.

/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: FromBstrToStr Converts a BSTR to ( not double byte...), well it´s no the best method, but it seems to be the easiest one, without leaking memory ( well maybe...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ */ string FromBstrToStr(BSTR TextB) { string ret; _bstr_t bstrConv(TextB, FALSE); ret = (const char *) bstrConv; return ret; }
