I'm trying to move a portion of our application to .NET from VC6 - the
idea was to let most of the older DLLs still be compiled with VC6. As
a
first step just opened the project with VC7, and leaving everything
unmanaged, just tried to get a build.
After fixing some compile problems, we ran into problems linking with
DLLs
that were MFC dependent. (something to do with CString-s that are
templates
in VC7). Is the only way to recompile these dependencies with VC7? I
attempted this, but there were some compiler errors which I'm still
trying
to figure out. Also, will these recompiled versions be backward
compatible with VC6 compiled apps?
I couldn't find anything on MSDN. Searched on these newgroups found
that I wasn't the only one having problems - there were some replies
that mention
something about linking MFC statically, etc.
Any experiences/pointers would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks,

No. VC6 MFC and VC7 MFC don't mix.

If you need to mix VC6 and VC7-compiled DLLs in a single process, you need
to be very careful about your DLL interfaces. Generally, any interface
which includes MFC, ATL or STL classes will not be compatible. An interface
that uses your own classes exclusively will probably be compatible, but you
also need to be sensitive about runtime library differences: There's no way
to get a VC6 DLL and a VC7 DLL to share a single runtime heap, so it's
essential that your DLLs expose "complete" resource management interfaces,
with both allocation and deallocation for all objects that cross the DLL
boundary.

I would like to open a solution in the VS.NET IDE that consists of
multiple DLLs and a test application (an .EXE). The .EXE is my startup
application. All the DLLs are shared components. This means that they
contain a key and are stored in the GAC.
When I go to run the test application in the IDE, it will not execute...

Hi Friends,
I'm facing a situation as follows, need help on identifying possible issues.
There is an MFC application developed in VC6.0, say ABCVC6.exe and another
developed in VC.NET, say DEFVCNET.exe. There are a few DLLs that are to be
used
by these applications. All these DLLs are originally developed in VC6.0 but
some of them are now migrated to VC.NET. So, let's say we have PQRVC6.dll
and XYZVCNET.dll.

Scenario:
This is about debugging server side scripts that make calls to
middle-tier business DLLs. The server side scripts are legacy ASP 3.0
pages, and the DLLs are managed DLLs converted/developed with VB.NET.
What I want from debugging is to be able to step into the methods in
the DLLs called from ASP scripts using Visual Studio .NET.
Background:
For typical script debugging issues, you can read and follow the two

I wrote an ASP.NET application and pretty much separated out various layers

I need to do to get these classes into their own dll? I presume that they

We have an ASP web site done with VB.NET. This website is also checked into

Now we need to move/copy this web site over to a different server - a QA
and/or Production server. I am not sure exactly how to do this.... Is there
a 'copy' utililty anywhere in .NET or IIS? Do we copy it manually (which
files, then)? Do we need to first create a virtual directory and then copy
the files from the old directory/server to the new one?...

Since moving across my application doesnt seem to be able to find the

Is there any way I can find them so I can check they're named ok?

So we have moved our app from .NET version 2.X in IIS6 to a Windows
2008 Server running IIS7.
We have copied all files to the Windwardreports\apps directory and
that apps directory has been converted to an application running in
..NET 2.X and Integrated mode.
We copied over the DB and edited the web.config file to the DB
username and password. I also added the NETWORK SERVICE user to the
DB.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
