Resource Only DLLs Fail to Link VC++ 7.1

I have uncovered an interesting problem with resource only DLLs. If I
create a project with a long name and the name includes periods ("."), the
IDE will fail to kick off the linker. The resource compiler seems to
successfully compile the .rc to a .res, but the linker never fires up. If I
force a link, the DLL will be created but will contain no resources.

An example project name that fails to link is
"My.Long.Named. Resource.Only.P roject". If I rename the project to
"MyLongNamedRes ourceOnlyProjec t" or "My.Test", I get the resource only DLL
as expected.

Is this a bug in VS.net 2003?

Hi John,
Thanks for posting in the community.

From my understanding that your project (resource only DLL) with a long
name (including periods".") cannot be linked, am I right?

Currently I am looking for resource to assure this problem. We will reply
here with more information as soon as possible.
If you have any more concerns on it, please feel free to post here.
Thanks!

Best regards,

Hi John,

I consult this problem to the product team, they confirm it a uncovered
issue to the VC7.1 Linker.

Very thanks for your valuable feedback and concerns on the VC7.1 product.

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.

I figured out what was causing the "Access is Denied" error when calling functions from referenced DLLs in my service. I've tried to be very detailed, so bear with me.

When using classes from this library, my service threw an "Access Is Denied" FileLoadException, which...

Help! I recently upgraded my VS V6 to VS 2005 and was unable to build projects that were perfectly ok under VS V6. Where VS 2005 fails was in the linker resolving external DLLs, which are Open Source DLLs like "log4Cxx" and "Xerces C++" DLL libraries. VS 2005 converted my projects without any problem. Even the proper lib includes and lib path were captured. But its linker just unable to resolve the C++ function references.
