SHFileOperation : Unmanaged code debugging

I have a .NET component (VC++) with native C++ at it's core. The native C++
code makes a call to SHFileOperation to delete a directory and it's contents.
When I host the .NET component in a VB app, and the SHFileOperation delete
is called, the application hangs forever unless I have the "Enable Unmanaged
code debugging" project setting on. Note the hang only occurs when I'm
running the VB app through the debugger. What gives?

Thanks for any help.

PS. I am aware of the pitfalls SHFileOperation (i.e., double null
termination, etc), but this same code works fine in other applications, this
application in release, and this application in debug if not run from the
debugger. I believe the code is OK, and that it's the managed/unmanaged
environment that is causing problems for SHFileOperation . If there is an
easy workaraound, I'll take it. I would like to understand why the
difference in behavior.

Hello, in the last few days I've made my first few attempts at creating mixed C++ managed-unmanaged assemblies and looking aftwerwards with ILDASM at what is visible in those assemblies from a managed point-of-view I've noticed that: 1) for each managed and unmanaged C function (not C++ classes) I get a public managed static method (defined on a 'Global Functions' class) in the generated assembly with an export name of the form...

We are using Visual Studio.NET 2003 in our project with .NET framework 1.1. One of our libraries is a mixed-mode dll assembly consisting of one managed C++ library, and several unmanaged C++ libraries. We are using managed C++ as a bridge between managed .NET code and unmanaged C++ code, which I'm sure is a fairly common practice. The managed C++ library is compiled with /CLR whereas all other libraries are compiled without /CLR because...

I'm attempting to put a C# front end on my unmanaged C++ ray tracer code. It's still in experimental stage, as I have never done anything with exporting types from an unmanaged dll through to a managed C# dll before. Currently, I have an unmanaged dll, a managed C++ wrapper dll and a C# dll. I have managed to get enough exported from the unmanaged code to get a vaguely correct picture on the screen, however there is some odd behaviour. ...

Hi, I have a managed Application (C#) that uses a managed DLL (MC++) which uses an unmanaged DLL (C++). All reside under the same solution. The unmanaged DLL has virtual methods, it is loaded statically (using DLL's lib file) by the managed DLL. When debugging the application I cannot step into the unmanaged DLL's code. Only if I attach a debugger manually I'm able to breakpoint in the unmanaged code.

I was wondering if it is possible and how to debug from managedC++ dll into unmanaged C++ code. I tried, but without any success. What I try to do is to wrap a unmanaged C++ dll using a Managed C++ wrapper class so that managed code can access my unmanaged code. Thanks. Michael

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,...
