I think you can use the directory routines "_getdrives();" to visit the drives and its subfolder and a basic copy function to write or read data

Hi Folks,

I got a Wrapper Dll around a native C++ static library. In .NET 1.1 this
worked fine. When moving to .NET 2.0 I get a couple of unresolved externals /
linker errors:

Error 32 fatal error LNK1120: 9 unresolved externals Debug\empDll.dll

In my .NET 1.1 Project I had to make the following Linker Settings to build
the DLL:

1.) Additional Dependencies: mscoree.lib msvcrt.lib (or msvcrtd.lib for
debug version) mystaticlib.lib

2.) Ignore Specific Library: nochkclr.obj

3.) Force Symbol Reference: __DllMainCRTStartup@12

In my Wrapper Classes I had to add the following:

#using <mscorlib.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Runtime::InteropServices;

This does not work any longer with the new Visual Studio and the new .NET
Framework.

The only article that I was able to find on this subject:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/TransGuide.asp

Doesn´t mention Linker settings at all.

Could anybody please help me or tell me where to go for further reading?
Thanks in Advance for your efforts.

Did you try adding msvcmrt.lib to the Additional Dependencies section?

Now I tried it and it resolved the unresolved externals! Thanks for this hint!

Unfortunately this did not solve the whole problem. Now I get the following BadImageFormatException:

Oooops, this was my fault now. It was a 64 Bit issue. In 32 Bit everything is fine now! Blush | :O

) Thanks alot! Chucker

Is that a pure managed DLL or a mixed-mode DLL? How are you loading the DLL, directly or via reflection?

Regards
Senthil

It is mixed mode and I just have to recompile the static libs in 64 Bit Mode or obtain the 64 Bit Versions of the static libs. I think I will get this done now! Thanks a lot Chucker

_bstr_t help needed

Hi all ,
could someone explain what is the diffrent between this contructor
_bstr_t(
BSTR bstr,
bool fCopy
);
and this
_bstr_t(
const _bstr_t& s1
) throw( );

Do I have to free one of these afte use ?
Do i habe to the BSTR (for the first example) ?

Thanks very much

Re: _bstr_t help needed

The second one is the copy constructor for _bstr_t. No, you don't need to do any SysFreeString, _bstr_t takes care of it when the destructor runs.

The first constructor, AFAIK, copies or "attaches" the BSTR to the _bstr_t instance, depending on the fCopy parameter. If you pass true, you need to SysFreeString the BSTR yourself.

In the first ctor, if you pass FALSE for fCopy, the _bstr_t object takes ownership of the BSTR that you pass as the first parameter. If you pass TRUE, it does not, but instead makes a copy of the BSTR, which it then manages.
