I am really interested in C#, but when I have gone and looked at books they seem about 50% based on web interactivity, something which I'm not that interested in.. is C# better, or as good as, C++ for developing full scale apps? C# just looks so much simpler..

But overall isn't that a good thing if you can do the same process, without all the addtional overhead?

exactly, i would much rather be focusing on C# if it was as viable an option as C++.. i was a java coder for a while, and recently started learning c++ (about 2 mo.).. i would switch to C# in a heartbeat if someone could validate that it is worthy of developing full scale apps..

I had heard a rumor that Microsoft was rewriting their Great Plains accounting package entirely in C#. I think that should provide as evidence enough if true. It would be a good question to ask Microsoft, what evidence they can provide to show how viable C# really is/will be.

Well, so why don't you switch to Visual Basic? 
I know, think about all overhead behind things in VB. Which program will run faster, C++ or VB? Of course, depends on the program, but you have to agree that the simple way is not the best way. Why programmers still using Assembler?
So I'm not sure that C# is that good. I think it stands somewhere between C++ and VB.. Almost simple as Basic and almost fast as C++.
But yes, in programs where you don't care about speed, like GUI based, you will pick the simple way

Me the same as Chris.
I really donn't know why should I use MC++,when C# exist.

C# looks like the best bet for writing .NET applications at the moment. C++ doesn't seem to be integrated well enough into the .NET framework for my liking. Hopefully this will change but for now if I have to write any .NET apps then C# is the nearest thing to C++.
VB is not for me, (because I keep putting ; on the end of lines and it complains  ). C# is easy to use and seems to meet my needs for writing MIS systems for .NET. C++ will always remain my first choice for Windows apps but until Microsoft improve the .NET support in it C# is the nearst language to my skill set for writing .NET apps.

I encountered a problem with the CGridCellDateTime picker, which comes with the MFC Grid by Chris. It chrashes when the user enter a bad year (out of range like 3010).
Did anyone fix this? Or have an Idea how to?
Thank You

You need to use the IShellLink interface. Mike Dunn's excellent article Introduction to COM - What It Is and How to Use It uses it in one of his examples.

Has anyone else seen anything like this:
I create a simple MFC app, use the CFileDialog, just passing in TRUE, and accepting the rest of the defaults, and then when I call
DoModal() I get a bunch of user breakpoint mesasge boxes that come up
and warnings in the output window like so:
HEAP[TextStuff.exe]: Heap block at 0014A9A8 modified at 0014A9DC past requested size of 2c
HEAP[TextStuff.exe]: Invalid Address specified to RtlFreeHeap( 130000, 14a9b0 )
( I beleive I get 11 of these little dialogs that come up)
Then the Open dialog comes up and evything seems to work. In Release mode nothing happens. If I adjust the release mode settings to output debug info and then run the app in the debugger, same behaviour. This did NOT use to happen. Is it possible for another app to have overwritten some system dll ? Is it safe to just ignore this ?
On Win2K 256 MB Ram, VC 6, sp4
I can fiddle with the settings of the OPENFILENAME struct, even make the call using the raw API, and I get the same results.
Thanks

Hi!
I had the similar problem. CFileDialog caused crashes in release builds, and in debug it caused access violation exception. I did not find a clue. I had no service pack for win2k.
I changed win2k into xp and it works good now

I am attempting to retrieve the contact list from Outlook 97. I am uncertain which dll and typelib to use. I have been able get Outlook 2000 to work with MSO9.dll and MSOUTL9.OLB, but that does not seem to work with Outlook 97. Or is there a DLL and typelib I can use that works with Outlook 97, 2000 and XP?
thanks in advance

Hi,
Take a look at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q259298
which explains what to #define and #import for each Outlook version. I don't know
if it is possible to detect the Outlook version at runtime and do some late binding.
Regards,
Alwin

I'm having trouble updating the filename with the new file extension. Do I need to send a message or something to the window to update.
Thanks

Your question is a little vague, but have you looked at the lpstrDefExt member of the OPENFILENAME structure (CFileDialog::m_ofn)?

Have a look at the appendice of "Effective STL" by Scott Meyer, there's a discussion on how to do this, in regard to STL.
You need to take into account the locale, and and regional specification, it's not only an ASCII thing!.
BTW, I haven't been able to build that example into VC++6 !
Max.

Hi Max
and thanks for your fast reply
Do you know where I find this example to download
or do I need to buy the book?
|

The CompareString Windows API routine allows you to specify a locale that will be used for sorting.

I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

Hello guys,
I'm quite new on COM and maybe what I'm asking it's stupid : in VC++ is there an automatic way to add another interface to an existing class which already has one or I have to do it by hand? If so, in which file I have to add it (idl, header file of the class)?
Thank you very much,
Thomas

You can go to the class view tab in the workspace manager, then right click on your com class. There should be a number of options to help you manage the functions and the interfaces in your object, whether you are using MFC or ATL to create your object.
