32bit and 64bit devellop

(I'm using Visual Studio 2008)

I want my new develloper pc to be Vista 64bit, but all my clients are so
far 32bit (XP), so my questions are:

1) Is it possible for me to tell VS2008 that the output should be 32bit?
That is devellop dotnet on a 64bit machine and output 32bit program?

2) When later this year, all my clients are updgraded to Vista 64bit,
can I then tell VS2008 easialy to change my solution from 32bit to 64bit?
Thanks!

As long as you are using managed code, you don't need to do anything
special. The numeric sizes in .NET are specified in that an Integer is 32
bits regardless of the machine. The framework will handle the differences
for you.

That said, you might want to get a 32-bit version of Vista and test with it
so your clients are comfortable with you developing on a 64 bit system.

Hello, I could really use some help. I'm trying to install a python program on centos4 x86_64. When I run 'python setup.py' it ends up in /usr/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/ instead of /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages. It's a problem because the program I'm trying to install is a dependency for something that is only 32bit. How can I specify a 32bit install? What I've tried so far: When I try 'python setup.py build --build-lib...

I need to detect whether the operating system I am running on (not the Python version) is 64bit or 32bit. One requirement is that I need to include support for non-Intel/AMD architectures. The 2 ways I have thought detecting 64bit are: 1. struct.calcsize("P") == 8 2. '64' in os.uname() I'm not convinced that either one of these is really adequate. Does

Can you help with code to convert from 64bit to 32bit other than just A=B :confused: The full story is that I have a 64bit float in hexidecimal so first I need to get this into a 64bit float Then using ANDs and Divides extract the Exponent and Mantissa and then get it into a 32bit float Thanks

Platform: Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Server UDB DB2 v8.1.11 I have the task of Migration my DB server from a 32Bit HW to a 64Bit HW. The DB2 software is installed on the local disks but the data files and logs for the DB are on a SAN. What I think is the correct procedure is to take an off-line backup from my 32bit server, install the DB2 software on the 64Bit server and do a restore.

Hi, I would like to copy glibc/libgcc (in particular, libc.so. 6,libgcc_s.so.1) for a 32bit machine onto a 64bit machine. Would using the 32bit glibc/libgcc on the 64bit machine work? The reason I ask is that I've been getting the following error: Bin/libc.so.6: symbol _dl_out_of_memory, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference

Hi all, I built an app with the "Platform target" of x86. Then I installed it as a Windows Service. When it's running, I can see in the Task Manager that the executable has "*32" following it, which I think means it's running in 32bit. But after I changed the log on account of the service, the "*32" disappeared and it's running in 64bit. Is there any way to fix this? I need to run it in 32bit. Thanks.

I need to know if I'm running on 32bit or 64bit ... so far I haven't come up with how to get this info via python. sys.platform returns what python was built on ... but not what the current system is. I thought platform.uname() or just platform.processor() would have done it, but python returns an empty string on windows. Any ideas? Thanks, Ken

Overview: 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,...
