We have just started converting a large project from VisualStudio 6.0 to VisualStudio 2003. Of course, we're encountering some problems.
The first of which involves some CString() constructors not taking arguments that were valid in the 6.0 builds.
As a test, a created a simple 2003 project and inserted the following six lines of code in the stdafx.cpp file:
#include "stdafx.h"
TCHAR x = 't';
CString s(x);
UCHAR uc = 'u';
CString s2(uc);
WCHAR wc = 'w';
CString s3(wc);
and I get the following compiler error:
c:\Temp\TestDot Net2003\TestDot Net2003\stdafx. cpp(15): error C2668: 'ATL::CStringT< BaseType,String Traits>::__ctor ' : ambiguous call to overloaded function
with
[
BaseType=char,
StringTraits=St rTraitMFC_DLL<c har>
]
and
[
BaseType=char,
StringTraits=St rTraitMFC_DLL<c har>
]
If I try the same thing with the 6.0 compiler, I get the following results:
c:\documents and settings\stevek \my documents\shamr ockii_1_0\stdaf x.cpp(27) : warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from 'unsigned short' to 'char', possible loss of data
WCHAR wc = 'w';
CString s3(wc); // offending line
If in the Stdafx.cpp file of the 2003 project, I right-click on CString and select the "Go To Definition", I goto line 103 of afxstr.h
typedef ATL::CStringT< TCHAR, StrTraitMFC< TCHAR > > CString;
and then if I again right-click on TCHAR and select "Go To Definition", I get to line 141 of tchar.h
#ifndef _TCHAR_DEFINED
#if !__STDC__
typedef wchar_t TCHAR; // line 141
#endif
#define _TCHAR_DEFINED
#endif
it appears that TCHAR has a typedef of wchar_t.
If I following the same steps ("Go To Definition") I get to:
#ifndef _TCHAR_DEFINED
typedef char TCHAR, *PTCHAR; // line 324 of WinNT.h
typedef unsigned char TBYTE , *PTBYTE ;
#define _TCHAR_DEFINED
#endif /* !_TCHAR_DEFINED */
Why is TCHAR being defined as wchar_t in the VS 2003 project?
Does anyone have a list of common problems and tips we could follow while in the process of converting a large project.
Any help would be appreciated. 3 3237

TCHAR is either char or wchar_t, depending whether the project is MBCS
or Unicode. Go to the project's configuration properties, General,
Character Set, and set it to Use Multi-Byte Character Set if you don't
want Unicode. If you do want Unicode, you have to accept that TCHAR is
wchar_t.

>have a list of common problems and tips we could follow while in the process of converting a large project.
In the case of mathimatical functions you should typecast to float/double.
For the rest nothing much different compared to VC++ 6.0
Just make sure that you have a backup, because you cannot go back to VC++ 6.0. It is a one way transition.
Tom,
I already had "Use Mult-Byte Character Set" selected. Can you think of
anywhere else this could be comming from? That is TCHAR getting defined
wchar_t?
Thanks

I've been trying all morning to convert my 2003 project (managed) to 2005

can't be done with a blanket replace, as my code has both managed and

Hey folks,
I just installed VS .NET 2003 on top of Windows 2003 Server. I was opening a
Web Project from source control, and got a warning that the project would
have to be "converted", and that I could no longer edit it in older versions
of Visual Studio.
What does this conversion entail. It seems like a 1 way path.

I'm not sure where the problem is, but I think it's related to the .pdb

Hi
An outlook 2003 add-in solution created in vs 2008 on a pc with outlook 2007
when re-opened in vs 2008 brings up the conversion wizard. Cancelling wizard
closes solution and does not allow to proceed. The development machine has
Office 2007 installed but as production machines have Outlook 2003 therefore
Outlook 2003 project template is selected for this solution.
How can I avoid the conversion of the project?

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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
