Hi All,
We have a .NET library having .NET remoting based programming interface
developed using VC++.NET (VS 2005 Beta2).
We want to provide C interface for a legacy application. Is it possible?
If yes, what would be the best approach?
Regards,
RS

You can use the assembly registration (regasm) utility http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...lregasmexe.asp
to "create" a COM object and type library from your .Net classes. Your C
application makes use of your .Net classes just as it would any other COM
object. I sketched the procedure with a toy .Net class and a C++ caller
here: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...7cc21dc2b67f3d
If C++ rather than C is an option you can create an unmanaged C++ class (or
classes) which has one public method for every method of every class in your
..Net solution. Then the C++ application can use the "it just works" method
of interop http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...nunmancode.asp
so that every call to one of these unmanaged methods is implemented by
calling on the corresponding managed method.
Regards.

Hi Ratan! We have a .NET library having .NET remoting based programming interface
developed using VC++.NET (VS 2005 Beta2).

There are several ways to do this:
- COM-Interop (regasam as William said already)
- CLR-Hosting
- Managed C++ (if you write a DLL this might be possible; never tested
it...)

I know that user interface library questions come up on this list every now

that would fit my needs but haven't found anything.
What I would like is a python library that exposes a simple API for creating
a mostly dialog-based user interface. This library should work both on text
and graphical terminals and be portable.
The closest matches that I've found are:...

Hi group!
I've been reading Juval Löwys "Programming .NET Components", and I
think it is a very good book, giving nice guidelines on how to really
exhaust the possibilities of .NET in general.
Juval Löwy is indeed an advocate of using interface-based programming
(he wrote a chapter dedicated to it, and he's using it througout the
book).

I've got some data that has Set structure, that is membership, insert
and delete is fast (O(1), hashing). I can't find a System.Collections
interface that matches the operations naturally offered by Sets.
- ICollection cannot decide containment
- IList promises indexability by the natural numbers, which is not
achievable (since i hash elements, not sort them).
- IDictionary is definatly not setlike.

I want this to be a serious, fruitful thread. Sabateurs will be plonked.
Table-based programming is a new paradigm, similar to object-orientation,
procedural decomposition, or functional programming.
The idea is that all the data in the program comes in "tables". A table
consists of records and fields, and is thus a 2d entry. Fields may be
numbers or strings, and have names, descriptors, prevalidation conditions
and postvalidation...

There are many languages around: C++, JAVA, PASCAL, and so on. I
tried to learn C++ and JAVA, but ended up criticizing them. Is it
because C was my first programming language?
I like C because, comparatively, it is small, efficient, and able to
handle large and complex tasks.
I could not understand why people are using and talking about other
programming languages.

Hi folks,
I've played around with neural nets for a while. I wrote my own slow,

there -- but I couldn't really understand their features and
documentation at first, not without some hands-on experience.
I haven't yet solved any interesting problems with NN, but I learned a

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

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,...
