I have an old library that exports a very nice native C++ object model. Its used in a lot of places that won't allow me to switch this to a managed model. However, we're writing a new GUI that we would like to display the information in a .NET grid. So, we need to somehow wrap this in a datasource. Is there an easier way to do this than write a full managed object model wrapper (i.e. just a simple DataSource wrapper that translates between the two)? I'm looking for examples but not finding any.

I am doing some responsive UI stuff in my program, and my (ThreadPool) thread needs some information from the UI, so it has to call Control::Invoke to get the main UI thread to do some querying... This method passes back some status information through the return value, and I can get the ThreadPool thread to do various actions based on the state... My problem is, sometimes I need more than one piece of information, and would like to pass this additional information out through pointer parameters of the method... Now, the Control::Invoke method has the signature (the one of importance to me):
public: virtual Object* Invoke(Delegate*, Object[]);
So I have to stick the parameters for the method to be invoked into an Object[], which means boxing value types... However, for the pointer arguments (where I expect to get further information passed back out), this is where I'm having problems... I can't use the pointer directly, and I can't box it... I tried using the System::Reflection::Pointer::Box() method, but then I couldn't use the pointer as expected in the method... Maybe I was doing something wrong, but I would unbox it, then manipulate it... Do I need to box it back up before the function terminates, then unbox it again after the Control::Invoke call to get the value stored there...??? Am I missing something...??? Is there another way to do it, or is this a lost cause??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Below is a pseudocode summary of my problem... Thanks...
- istrasci
<br />
On ThreadPool thread:<br />
{<br />
...<br />
System::Int32 status;<br />
int *val;<br />
args[0] = __box(some_val); ...<br />
args[3] =
<br />
status = *dynamic_cast<System::Int32*><br />
(Invoke(myDelegate, args));<br />
...<br />
}<br />
<br />
On main UI thread:<br />
System::Int32 method(int a, int b, int c, int *d)<br />
{<br />
*d = int3;<br />
<br />
return <status info>;<br />
}

Hi everyone!
I used AfxGetApp()->LoadCursor() to load cursors from resource. It worked well when I build project using 'Use MFC in a Static Library'.
But when I build it using 'Use MFC in a Shared DLL' - LoadCursor() returnes NULL and GetLastError() returnes ERROR_RESOURCE_TYPE_NOT_FOUND.
But LoadCursor(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(...)) works as well.
What it can be?
Something similar are happen with menues. CMenu::LoadMenu(...) became unsuccess.
Thanks for help.

After reading some articles I convinced that C# (.NET 2003)is not good enough yet for heavy array operations. Therefore, I want to use VC++ 6.0 for array operations and C# for GUI applications. How can I use them together?
Thank you in advance

Would it be simpler to use VC++ 2003 (native) for both?

I think this is a dumb idea, but COM interop is the way to do this, just write your C++ code as a COM dll and import it into your C# app.

Dear Christian,
My original code uses templates extensively. This features is available in VS 2005 (as C# Generics) not in 2003. I don't have it. That's why I want to use VC++ & .NET 2003 together.
What is the basic difference between COM DLL and DLL? Any reference?
If I create a project as WIN32 DLL and build it and then adding the DLL as a reference in C# project would it be correct?
Thank you in advance.

So you had C++ to start with ? Why on earth do you want to move at all then ? Why do you need C# ?
Nuray wrote: This features is available in VS 2005 (as C# Generics) not in 2003.
Unless you used templates in a really basic manner, C# probably does not support your C++ code at all, actually.
Nuray wrote: That's why I want to use VC++ & .NET 2003 together.
But why are you moving to C# at all ? If you need to support .NET, why not MC++ ?
Nuray wrote: What is the basic difference between COM DLL and DLL?
One supports COM, the other is just a dll. COM was the answer to dll hell before .NET came along ( .NET is also the answer to dll hell )
Nuray wrote: Any reference?
google.
Nuray wrote: If I create a project as WIN32 DLL and build it and then adding the DLL as a reference in C# project would it be correct?
You can' add a normal dll, but you could use import functions from a normal dll into a C# app. My core question would remain, why ? If you have a code base already, how does it work now, and why are you so keen to do part of it in C# ?

(1) Why do I move from C++ to C#?
I started with C++ because I hate C. I use C# because
I dislike C++.
- MFC is difficult unnecessarily.
- the use of DLL is complicated you need to modify the code accordingly.
- Just one more minor point; All C/C++ users are familiar with pointers
but C# user don't bother knowing it. I think new generation is more
lucky than us.
(2) Why not MC++ ?
- Good things about MC++: it supports templates and belongs to .Net
- I didn't like the notation for keywords __gc or __value etc.
- There are similarities between MC++ and C#. It is not a big deal
switching from one to another but windows applications are very easy
in C# compared to MFC. MFC opens a lot of files that you need to know
very well in detail. C# opens two files one is code view and the
other is code view. Very natural. Very organized. It hides the
generated code for the application. C# has great editor. The Outlining
feature is essential for the applications having many classes and
functions.
(3) Why C#
GUI applications is easy. I don't like doing things the hard way any
more.
(4) Why .Net ?
It is a platform for web based applications. I want to run my C++
code on the web. MC++ is an option but it is difficult. C# is my
favourite option but VS.NET 2003 is not good enough for my needs.

Nuray wrote: I started with C++ because I hate C.
Fair enough. Who uses C now for Windows anyhow ?
Nuray wrote: I use C# because

Sounds like you will move to VB because you hate C#. What's wrong with C++ ?
Nuray wrote: MFC is difficult unnecessarily.
Rubbish.
Nuray wrote: the use of DLL is complicated you need to modify the code accordingly.
True. COM is easier overall than a standard dll, I think, but it's still messy and complex.
Nuray wrote: Just one more minor point; All C/C++ users are familiar with pointers
but C# user don't bother knowing it. I think new generation is more
lucky than us.
Well, it would help to know about pointers so you know what C# is doing. The new generation is unlucky, they will never learn the stuff that we just know through having to.
Nuray wrote: I didn't like the notation for keywords __gc or __value etc.
I don't like it either, but at some point you will need to choose a language, and use it.
Nuray wrote: There are similarities between MC++ and C#. It is not a big deal
switching from one to another but windows applications are very easy

I've done a lot of both, I don't think either is that much easier than the other, if you know what you're doing.
Nuray wrote: MFC opens a lot of files that you need to know
very well in detail. C# opens two files one is code view and the
other is code view.
Wrong. MFC has three files, and that only because C++ has a header and a cpp file.
Nuray wrote: It hides the
generated code for the application.
Barely.
Nuray wrote: C# has great editor. The Outlining
feature is essential for the applications having many classes and
functions.
None of this fluff is 'essential', and I fear it becomes a way of not having to learn to organise your own code.
Nuray wrote: GUI applications is easy. I don't like doing things the hard way any
more.
Then do your entire app in C#, if you like it so much.
Nuray wrote: It is a platform for web based applications.
True, but your winforms app won't run on the web any more than your MFC app will. You need WinFX for that.
Nuray wrote: I want to run my C++
code on the web.
You can, via COM interop and ASP.NET or even just asp.
Nuray wrote: C# is my

Because it's C# 1.1 ? Like I said, C# 2.0 generics are very much templates lite. There's a lot of C++ stuff in templates that generics do not support.

(1) Who uses C?
Matlab users need to know C to understand some stuff. I use
fuzzy logic source code of it which is public and written in C
unfortunately. C survives like Fortran 77 and/or 90 due to some public
useful codes.
(2)What's wrong with C++ ?
I should admit that it works amazingly. I am very satisfied with it for
database programming(not ADO). It is a good tool for scientific
programming. But this doesn't mean that I never look for better one.
(3)Which language new generation should start with?
Let me repeat some points that you know very well for the sake of our
discussion. C++ is a low-level programming language like C. C# is high-
level programming language due to managed environment. That means you can
drive a car without knowing how it works. For example, no need to worry
about where to create the object in the memory(stack or heap?).NET
handles it. Perhaps C++ users might know both unmanaged and managed C++
in .Net environment. I think C# can attract more beginners. It is not as
powerful as C++ for the time being but eventually will catch up.
(4)Importance of editors
In Net C# and C++ don't have similar editor. Managed C++ have the similar
editor of Visual C++. Very disappointing. All good features are reserved
for C#. It has very intelligent editor. C++ users can't imagine what
they miss. You can notice your errors before compiling. It understands
when a class is created and helps to write its components with pup-op menu.
I think in later versions of C# the editor can create UML files of the
code. Not a bad idea.
(5) What am I going to do after all our discussion which is quite useful
for anybody not only for me?
I have decided to convert my old code in C++ to a web application using COM
and ASP. NET as you suggested. But I have to stop developing the code
using C++, it sounds as if I kill my baby, what a bad mother I am. I will
redevelop the code from scratch using C# so that I can add new classes
using a nice editor with the benefit of .NET features.
Of course, using C# will not solve all the dilemma of programmers but at
least Microsoft is good at advertising .NET technology to convince
dinosaurs like me to move from C++ to C#.
Yours

It will never catch up, in terms of raw power. We just won't care because our processors will get bigger and bigger. It's certainly catching up in terms of the language itself, I agree there.
I agree that the C# editor continues to have more features than the C++ editor.

this is a simple question, i think there is probably a simple answer. im a newb with c
i looked on google but couldnt find out what my problem was.
i have this code
for(i=0; i < something; i++) {
sprintf(filename, "%i", i);
f = fopen(filename, "w");
}
how can i make it open files like
filename1
filename2
filename3
filename4
...etc?
thanks.

I hope this can do it:
sprintf(filename,"filename%i",i);
this is this.
