I'm an occasional VB user who has just installed VB .NET 2003 (previously
using VB6). I migrated a VB6 project over, tweaked it, and compiled it. It
runs fine on the machine I compiled it on, but will not initialize on other
systems.
After doing some digging I believe the problem is that I need to compile for
Win32 platform instead of .NET platform. But that option is not available in
the drop-down in Configuration Manager; .NET is the only thing in the list.
What am I missing? How do I enable the option to compile my app for Win32
without needing the .NET Framework installed on the user machine?

Dwasifar,
With Visual.Studio Net you can only make with C++ direct Win32 programs.
For the rest you can make with VS Net as the name already says only Net
programs.
(That is because you need for .Net programs the OS extention also named the
framework).
I hope this helps,

Well, crap. The packaging's a little misleading then, telling you you can
make Windows applications with it.
So a VB program will still compile only for .NET Framework even if you also
have C++ installed in Visual Studio, right?

yep.... it's a bummer!
If you don't want to force a 20MB upgrade on your clients then have a look
at thinstall.
What is thinstall?

The .NET Framework is simply a huge library and execution engine, but the
applications created using VB.NET will still run on Windows if the .NET
Framework is installed.

Yes.

Hi,
Python is really great, for small to big programs. For my colleagues and
some circumstances I sometimes need to "compile" a script using py2exe.
Cause I use Windows, I like to use the (Windows) ability, to add some
version infos, comments, etc to the exe file.
If I use explorer to check, these properties are visible and correct.

When I build my winforms exe using the IDE I have a

Hi all,
I am new to C#, .NET and Visual Studio but I have been coding professionally
for more than 10 years, so I am not a complete newbe :-)
At my work we are now in the process of switching from Borland Delphi to
Visual Studio and C#.
We have a lot of applications that we do not have time to recode to .NET, so
we are planning to do all "new" developments in C#.
And this is where my question pop up:

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.
