John,

asks this as as well the name John. Maybe there is already there an answer.

Maybe one of these solution applies (taken from a post written by Thomas
Scheidegger):

No, not unless you want to try hand editing your solution and project files.
The amount of work to be done will vary depending on project type. A simple
unmanaged C++ console project is not that difficult. YMMV. However, if
you've used anything new from VS 2008 or .NET 3.5 in the project, it won't
work.

Answered in the other NG.

As I do that the same in Dutch (and I do), is that than because my poor
Dutch?

It I like to answer cryptic questions with even more cryptic answers, while
I have the bad habit to think faster than I type and then start to make the
line I wrote even unreadable for myself.

Just speaking for myself here, but if you reply with a cryptic answer, it
will be useless to the poster, and you might as well not answer at all. Why
are you wasting your time that way? It even sound like you're proud of it?

The purpose of a newsgroup is to get a helpful and meaningful answer. If you
cannot provide that, why answer at all. I feel like John that getting help
here is very hard. You almost never get a straightforward answer (if you get
any at all), and if you DO get an answer it's mostly like Cor's messages.

Luckily not all people are like Cor. Seth Rowe for instance has helped me on
several occasions.

Cheers,
Johnny J.

Johnny,
The purpose of a newsgroup is to get a helpful and meaningful answer.
You really should read something about Usenet. What you state is not the
meaning of a newsgroup.

The purpose is in this case to learn from each other which means as well
that a problem has to be well described and in relation to the topic of a
newsgroup.

Although there is also some community interests in newsgroups, which can go,
as it are regular posters and let say belonging to that newsgroup, wider
than the topic.

Beside that are my cryptic answers never beside of the question, however
sometimes it is more abstract than a little sample that some of you expect,
at least I expect some understanding of development. I am not here to teach
here about basic aspects of development. If you don't understand something,
than tell it, I cannot see what the level is from users. (Which has nothing
to do in the way they write by instance, I see here well formed English
messages, which as you evaluate them only shows that the writer does not
understand what he is doing, while I see here to messages who are completely
opposite of that).
